For this Introduction to Hand Building Workshop, you’ll each be given clay to explore, experiment and create with. Throughout the workshop you will be shown techniques you can choose to use to create a personalized work to have finished by the Community Clay team.

With the clay you’re given you may create to your hearts content, and keep up to 2 projects totalling 1lb of clay. Extra/larger pieces created may be kept for an additional fee depending on the size of the object to accommodate for the use of glazing materials, the labour of love that goes into finishing the work for you and the space taken in the kiln.

To upgrade this workshop to make a custom Planter, please click here, when purchased extra clay and plant are provided.

We look forward to having you create with us. When you arrive at the studio we will have a meet & great to get to know each other! The instructor will do a couple of demos to start things off. Focus for the workshop will be on the studio experience, and trying your hand at clay. We work together at the end to clean up, as Community values collaboration. Your work will be ready for pick up in 4-6 weeks (extra thick pieces will take longer to dry out.)

The workshops are great for those who have a challenging schedule but want to try ceramics, or those with prior experience who want to work on a specific skill. The Workshop is one evening, doors open at 6pm for meet & greet; 630pm the Demo starts; 830-9pm clean up & choose glaze colours! If you have booked a 2pm workshop adjust the time accordingly. Doors open at 2pm and the Demo will begin at 230! No late entry.
