Workshop Details

This February, learn new clay techniques to create a charming Aussie animal sculpture. In this no-experience needed workshop, enjoy the process as you create and transform a lump of clay into a beautiful piece of art.

First, you’ll be guided through step-by-step how to handbuild an adorable koala or kangaroo wearing a cozy sweater on your first visit. Then, return to the studio to glaze it with colours of your choice. Join us to make this completely original sculpture, handmade by you! 🐨🦘

Workshop FAQs

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
