Workshop Details

Enjoy the magic that unfolds as you create your very own handmade dishware using stoneware clay. Create a bowl, mug and plate in part one.

On your second visit you will add the rainbow of coloured glazes to your funky dishware, following the colourful abstract patterns of the 1980's. This workshop is perfect for those who love to work with their hands and create beautiful objects that will bring joy to their homes.

Workshop FAQs

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 1,200°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.
