Become a miniature artist in this workshop and create your own collection of tiny, one-of-a-kind vases. Using hand-building techniques, you’ll design pieces that can hold delicate dried flowers or simply stand as small reflections of your personal style. There are no rules here — explore shapes, textures, and forms that speak to you, and enjoy the process of watching your ideas take shape in clay. Begin your workshop by choosing from our three different colours of clay; white, speckled buff, or our seasonal feature clay. Then come back to decorate your tiny vase as a beautiful complement to your fabulous kitchen with our over 100 colour choices! All materials and instruction are always included in our workshop fees, so bring your best ideas and your patient instructor will help you along every step of the way! In this workshop you will learn how to: ~ Pinch clay into small shapes ~ Decorate with stamps, carving, and glazes ~ Finish surfaces to minimize sharp areas After this workshop your piece(s) will be bisque fired and then you can return to glaze during one of our "Glazing 101" workshops which is included in the cost of your class! It is a 1.5 hour intro to glazing that will teach you how to glaze the piece(s) you have made. Alternatively, you may choose a single colour that we will glaze for you. After glazing, the piece(s) will be fired in our kiln, and you can expect them to be ready for pickup 2-3 weeks after you have glazed. The sooner you come back to glaze, the sooner you can take them home to enjoy! We will always contact you for pickup. Our clay discovery classes have been curated to teach a basic technique of hand building. You will be amazed with what you can make with just your hands and some clay! This is a great introduction to pottery without making a multi-week commitment.
