Workshop Details

This workshop combines elegance and simplicity, where you press real florals and foliage into the soft clay. In this no-experience needed workshop, enjoy the process as you create and transform a simple mug and saucer into a beautiful piece of art. Don't forget to BYOF (bring your own flowers) for a truly one of a kind ceramic! 🌸 *Dried or fresh flowers both work.

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. 

"In early June the world of leaf and blade and flowers explodes, and every sunset is different."
