Being in Esquimalt, so close to the ocean, it’s hard not to have it on your mind! Take the beauty and mystery of the sea as an inspiration to create your own magical sea-life themed dishes for your home or as a thoughtful gift! Bring your best ideas and your patient instructor, Kenya, will help you along every step of the way! In this workshop you will learn: ~ How to roll out a slab ~ Surface finishing techniques ~ Creating small sea life sculptures from clay ~ Decorating with stamps, slip, texture tools and glazes After this workshop your piece will be bisque fired and then you can return to glaze the piece during one of our "Glazing 101" workshops which is included in the cost of your class! It is a one-hour intro to glazing that will teach you how to glaze the piece you have made. Alternatively, you may choose a single color that we will glaze for you. After glazing the piece will be glaze fired, and you can expect your piece to be ready for pickup 2-3 weeks after you have glazed. We will always contact you to pick up. REGISTRATION CLOSES ONLINE AT 9PM THE EVENING BEFORE THE SCHEDULED WORKSHOP. TO REGISTER ON THE DAY-OF THE WORKSHOP, PLEASE CALL US AT 778-757-3274. Our clay discovery classes have been curated to teach a basic technique of hand building. You will be amazed with what you can make with just your hands and some clay! This is a great introduction to pottery without making a multi-week commitment.
