🌟 August is the month we bring back the most popular workshops of the year! 🎨✨ Missed one the first time? Now's your chance to join us and create your favourite projects! 💛🫶

Create your own handcrafted coffee tumbler. A functional (and trendy!) ceramic piece you'll enjoy using every day for your favourite hot drink! ✨

All our classes are taught step-by-step by one of our talented instructors. No experience is needed, all materials and first kiln fire are included. If you would like to paint (glaze) your pottery after the workshop, you can book a glazing session for $12/hour (not included in the hand-building workshop price). The glazing fee covers painting materials (underglazes) and two additional kiln firings to make your pieces food-safe and/or water-resistant.  Pieces are ready to glaze about week after the workshop, and we hold them at the studio for up to two months while you book your glazing appointment. You don’t have to paint your project exactly like the pictures. During the glazing session, we encourage you to create your own unique design.

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 1,200°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.Â
