About this class

Why Join? Handbuilding is a grounding and expressive experience that lets you create something truly personal. Whether you're here to unwind, learn a new skill, or try something different, this workshop is your first step into the captivating world of pottery.

What you’ll do in the class

Classes begin with a soft landing: time to arrive, breathe, and connect to the moment. After a short introduction of your experience and connection with clay, you'll be guided through handbuilding methods like pinching, coiling, or working with slabs, always with room for your own ideas and personal expression.

From practical objects like plant pots or incense holders to symbolic pieces like amulets or abstract forms, the focus is on creative flow rather than perfection.

These classes are rooted in the belief that everyone can create, and that working with clay can be both joyful and transformative. You'll leave not only with a unique handmade piece, but also with a sense of calm, connection, and creative confidence.

Welcome to Casstle of Clay, where clay becomes a medium for stories, emotions, and community.

Who is the class suitable for?

This handbuilding course is open to everyone, no experience needed! Whether you're new to clay or have worked with it before, the workshop offers a welcoming space to explore and create. I'll guide you step by step through the entire process, with support tailored to your level, so you can feel confident, inspired, and free to express yourself.

Details to remember

What to bring to the class

Bring yourself and wear comfy clothes you don't mind getting messy! Ideas, sketches, or natural objects like leaves are welcome, but no plan needed. I'll guide you!

What is included in the class?

The course includes all materials, tools, and the firing of your finished piece, just bring your curiosity and creativity! We'll focus on handbuilding techniques and surface design, but please note: glazing is not part of this workshop. Your piece will be fired with a natural finish that highlights the raw beauty of the clay. If you'd like to use your piece functionally, I'll gladly share easy finishing tips using materials you might already have at home.
