Workshop Details

Enjoy the magic that unfolds as you shape and mold a lump of clay into a beautiful vase using speckled stoneware clay.

Learn how to sculpt and shape the clay following easy to follow instructions. Once the clay is dried and bisqued, return to add the glaze and bring your vase home after one more firing in the kiln.

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1 hour of instruction. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1 hour, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pick Up: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 10 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pick up.

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200Β°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.Β
