During the class, you will learn the fundamental hand-building techniques for creating pottery. We will focus on the slab technique, where you will learn how to shape and mould the clay into a pot.

As you immerse yourself in the class, you may find yourself feeling a sense of calm and relaxation as you connect with the clay. The tactile nature of working with clay can be therapeutic, allowing you to express your creativity in a tangible and satisfying way.

By the end of the workshop, you will have not only acquired new skills but also have a beautiful piece of pottery to proudly display in your home or gift to someone special.
