WORKSHOPS
Saturday 1 June, 2024. 10.30am-12.30pm
Join us at the beautiful Will & Co HQ in Bondi for this two hour Introduction to Handbuilding Ceramics workshop! Make your own coffee cups to enjoy every day.
This workshop will give you an introduction to working with stoneware clay and in particular the techniques for making pinch pots. Catherine from Splendid Wren Ceramics will guide you through making two pieces of your choice such as a coffee cup, bowl, vase or small planter. The first pot allows participants to get a feel for the clay - pinching and shaping it and then, once they are feeling more confident, the second piece will be from a slightly larger ball of clay.
PRICE:
$130 per person
Price includes Will & Co coffee on arrival, tuition as you create your work, one kg of stoneware clay per person and the glazing and firing of the work made from that clay. Work will be available for collection from Will & Co a few weeks after the workshop. all materials will be provided – the clay, the tools and examples of shapes. After the workshop Catherine will take away the pieces for drying then bisque firing to 1000 degrees, glazing and the final glaze firing to 1260 degrees. We will use a lovely speckled clay and all pieces will be glazed in a white glaze.

“ THANK YOU so much for last night! We all really really enjoyed ourselves and we’re already planning what we will make in another session! It’s such a cool thing to do instead of the usual girls dinner out! You will definitely be hearing more from us!”
“I have completed three Hand Building courses with the lovely Splendid Wren Catherine. Her patience and skills have allowed me to create many gorgeous pieces that I use everyday at home. Catherine provides such a relaxed and warm space hosting intimate classes that allow the attention you need to learn and create. I felt like I could bring ideas into the room and Catherine helped me bring them to fruition. Her passion for clay is inspirational. I can’t wait for the next course.”
“I have attended many of Catherine’s workshops but it was her four week Handbuilding Course that really made me fall in love with ceramics and explore all that I could do with clay. In a small group it was equally creating and connecting with other like minded people and I looked forward to it every week. I made so many beautiful pieces that I use daily at home now. Highly recommend!”
