It fuses the anchoring qualities of a mindful, body-awareness yoga practice with the emotional resonance of working with your hands and immersing yourself in the earthy, soul-stirring nature of clay.

+ CLAY HANDBUILDING WORKSHOP
Delicate. Gentle. Tender. Steady.
Redirect your senses from the vibrant external world to embrace the softness of clay. Immerse yourself in the unfolding of this natural process, discovering the nuanced balance of pressure required to mold and shape it in the cradle of your hands. This is your space to commune with your creative essence, guided solely by intuition.
We are going to fire and glaze your pieces. As soon as they are ready to be picked up to find a new home, you'll be informed. It usually takes 3-4 weeks. In addition to your hands, wooden tools are used in the handbuilding technique to mold the form. There will be no pottery wheel work done in this workshop.

If, unfortunately, any issues arise during these processes, we will promptly notify you and work together to find a suitable solution.

Each piece undergoes firing and also a clear glazing by our team, so your pieces are dishwasher safe. The completion of this process typically requires 4 weeks before your piece is ready for pickup. To ensure the safe transport of your crafted treasure, we recommend bringing a bag for the journey home.
