Best For: Adults and ages 12+, no experience needed. Have you had a taste of playing with clay and want to do more pieces with a bit more freedom? Or are you starting out and wanting to play at your own pace? Our workshops generally allow creative freedom but this hand building ceramics session is for anyone who wants to jump in and do their own pottery piece, at their own pace, without having to source all the gear! It's also great for groups where one wants to make a serving plate, another wants to make a couple of mugs and another wants to do a salad bowl - every one is happy! This is not a structured class with a demonstration but one of our team will be here to help you with tips and suggestions to make sure your pieces look great AND survive the kiln. We're keeping the numbers small so that everyone will get the attention and support that they need. Make a mug, a dish, a bowl, some decorative pieces, whatever takes your fancy. We have plenty of samples for inspo and it's great if you come with a piece in mind and some images to help you get started. We will give you a kilo of clay to play with and you can choose from a gritty clay which is more forgiving and looks amazing glazed white, or a smoother style which is better if you want to paint your piece and have clear glaze. Our team can help you choose the best one for what you want to make. With 1 kilo of clay you could make 2 mugs, a chip and dip plate, a serving plate, some wall art, a large bowl, so many options. Bring along your BFF, family or partner for a lovely session of clay-making with soothing tunes and good vibes! Loose yourself in the hand building process. Following the workshop, your pieces will be bisque-fired, glazed and glaze fired before being returned for you to collect and treasure within 4-5 weeks. If you think you may need more structure, maybe try one of our workshops where the teacher does a demonstration. Not sure which session is right for you? We want you to have a great experience, so are always happy to help with any questions you may have. You can message us at [email protected] and we will get in touch, usually within a few hours. The fine print - Clay has a memory and it's own mind :) We do our best to make sure your pieces come back from the kiln looking awesome - and they usually do - but sometimes there are cracks, also known as unintended design features. They are part of what makes your piece unique! WHERE Our Studio 87 West Burleigh Rd, Burleigh Heads, Queensland COST $115 per person All materials supplied + firing + morning tea
