Clay Handbuilding Workshop
In this beginner-friendly workshop, we’ll explore the basics of handbuilding with stoneware clay. It’s a versatile clay that’s great for shaping by hand and allows you to create fun yet functional pieces.
We’ll be making the famous Dutch borrelplank (a serving board for all your favourite snacks), but if you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you’re also welcome to create your own spiky creature! Do you have another idea in mind? Let me know beforehand so I can prepare the right materials.
No experience is needed. This workshop is all about experimenting, getting to know the material and enjoying the creative process. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Practical Information
Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours maximum.
What to wear: Bring clothes that can get a little dirty.
Cleaning up: We’ll clean up together at the end of the workshop.
Firing & glazing: Your pieces will first be fired in the kiln at 960°C. Once they’re ready, I’ll apply a transparent glaze to give them a smooth, finished look.
if you would like to come have a sip and paint, that’s also possible! It will be a separate workshop.
Collection: Your pieces should be ready for their first firing in about 3 weeks. After glazing and a second firing, you can expect to collect them within another 3 weeks. ( Yes, it actually takes that long to make these pieces)
There will be snacks and drinks too! Let me know your favourites (& allergies) beforehand.
See ya at the workshop!
