Get creative with pottery hand-building in this therapeutic workshop
If you're looking for a hands-on way to unwind and tap into your creativity, ditch the pottery wheel and rediscover the magic of hand-building! Joan, your host, is more than a potter; she understands the power of working with your hands to nourish your spirit. In her welcoming studio, you'll learn the ancient art of hand-building – pinching, coiling, and shaping clay into unique pieces that reflect your own touch. Unlike wheel throwing, hand-building offers boundless creative expression – no two pieces will ever be alike! It's a chance to relax, express yourself, and walk away with a handmade treasure that's truly yours.What to expect:A short demonstration to introduce you to the basics of hand-building.Lots of time to experiment and create your own unique pieces.Personalized guidance and support from your instructor.Important tips:Come with ideas! Bring pictures of pieces you admire for inspiration.One favorite piece is included. Love more than one creation? Keep them for a small fee.Plan for pickup: Glazed and fired pieces are ready for collection after about 8 weeks. Want to try glazing? Opt for a 2-lesson bundle and glaze your creation yourself!Age 13+: This mindful & meditative experience is recommended for those aged 13 and up. If you have younger kids, you're the best judge of whether they'd enjoy this focused and creative activity.

Joan's not just a potter, she's a healer at heart. After years as a doctor, witnessing the toll stress took on her friends, she knew there had to be a better way. That's why she traded her stethoscope for clay, creating a haven where you can find peace through pottery. More than just pottery techniques, her classes have also been designed with psychologists to bring about mental wellness and connecting with oneself. If you crave a creative escape that nourishes your soul, and want to support Joan's mission, her studio is your sanctuary.

Hi, I didn't read properly when I proceed with the booking. Is it possible to change my booking to the one with pottery wheels?
Lynn, 09 Sep 2022
Hi Lynn, We are very sorry - Once the booking is confirmed, you won't be able to change to other options.
From the reviews, seems like one of the instructors isn’t that ideal. Are we able to know which instructor is scheduled for the different dates?
Ping, 07 Jun 2022
Hi Ping, We are not able to guarantee which instructor will be available on a certain date, but we will make sure the instructor will give their best to assist you during the workshop :)
