HAND BUILT CERAMICS WORKSHOP - Mugs, Spoons & Guided Free Play

Hand built Ceramics Workshop - mug making and guided free play.

These days prioritising moments of creativity over our to-do lists can almost feel like a selfish act. Reclaim a bit of your time and drop in for a few of hours of messy mindfulness. Whether you’ve dabbled in clay before or it’s your first time our instructor Katie will guide you in the basic skills and techniques used to create and decorate a mug you can sip your morning coffees from for years to come. She’ll also be there to offer guidance with technique and process while you enjoy the opportunity for free play to create other ideas you might have dreamt up.

All pieces will be slow dried to minimise risk of breakage, glazed with our house white glaze, fired twice and returned to the studio for you to collect. Clay and glaze colours may vary depending upon availability. 

Pieces are made using stoneware clay, ensuring strength and durability for daily use. Your pieces will be microwave and dishwasher safe.

Please allow up to 6 weeks for glazing and firing to be completed and your finished products to be returned to the studio. We will contact you when they are ready to collect.

Cost is all inclusive of materials and glazing for up to 3 pieces of pottery. Additional pieces can be fired and glazed (payment to be made direct on the day to the creative). 

No previous experience necessary.

This is an adult open age class but is suitable for age 8 plus and no previous experience is necessary however children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a participating adult.

All materials and light refreshments will be provided.

ABOUT YOUR TEACHER:

Katie Clarke has called the northern beaches home for the last decade and is a mum to two wild (and wonderful) boys. After surviving postpartum life she first dove into ceramics as a hobby to bring a bit of space in amongst the beauty and mayhem of being a full time mum. 

Since founding Katie Clarke Ceramics she has focused on creating pieces that foster a sense of connection and relationship - mugs to sip from as we chat and do life with our closest, dinnerware for sharing a meal, or more decorative pieces to create a home that feels warm and comfortable to invite others into. Her pieces reflect a desire for peace, with minimalist, organic shapes and neutral, earthy tones.

Katie has a background in primary education and brings creativity, warmth, and a laid back approach to her workshops, facilitating a space that allows participants to enjoy the learning process, hold space for mistakes and imperfections, and ultimately mould the clay into something beautiful to be enjoyed for years to come.
