Vase Making and Flower Arranging Course

Build your own ceramic flower vase in this hands-on clay workshop at Hølssi Studio in Belsize Park, then return to pick it up fired and ready to use. Maria will guide you through the hand-building techniques step by step, so first-timers are completely welcome and no prior experience is needed.In the second session, you'll collect your finished vase and Min will help you create a beautiful dried flower arrangement to fit it. You'll head home with a one-of-a-kind keepsake that's entirely your own.

• Build your own ceramic vase from scratch
• Learn hand-building techniques with a friendly teacher
• Collect your vase fired and glazed, ready to use
• Create a dried flower arrangement to fit your vase
• All materials, firings and transparent glaze included

How it works:

• Session 1 (2 hours): Get hands-on with clay and shape your vase with Maria's guidance. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on.
• Session 2 (1 hour): Collect your fired vase and enjoy a relaxed hour creating your dried flower arrangement with Min, ready to take home.

Both sessions run at 11am or 2:30pm. Please arrive 5 minutes early, as we may not be able to fit in the full session if you're more than 15 minutes late.Can't make the second session? No worries! The florist will prepare a selection of dried flowers for you to collect with your finished vase, so you can create your arrangement at home.Please note:

• Your vase is fired in a kiln between sessions. Firing is a natural process, and there's a small risk (low, but real) that a piece can crack, warp, chip or come out with a different glaze finish than expected, even with careful making. We take steps to minimise this, but we can't guarantee that any piece will survive firing. If your vase is damaged, we'll let you know as soon as we can and you'll receive a replacement vase from our stock to decorate at Session 2. We can't offer a refund for the ceramics part beyond this, as the risk is part of the craft.
• If you have any food allergies, please let us know. We'll take photos and videos during the sessions, so do tell us if you'd prefer not to appear.
