The Art of Hand Building and Decoration

$80.00

Step into the grounding world of clay hand-building & decorative techniques.

No experience is necessary. This workshop can be enjoyed by beginners, regular crafters, or seasoned artists.

In this workshop, you’ll create two ceramic vessels, each infused with a touch of your own style and creativity. Using both the pinch pot and coil methods, you’ll explore form, shape, and texture to make a pair of vessels that are both unique and complementary, to bring ceramic art into your home.

This is a chance to slow down, connect with the clay, and leave with pieces that feel personal and meaningful.

Throughout the workshop you’ll be guided through the process in a supportive and friendly setting, with examples to inspire your own creative process. Once your vessels are complete, they will be fired and glazed ready to be collected within 3-4 weeks or you can choose to attend our collaborative Alternate Firings Workshop.

Optional Partner Workshop

Step into the magical outdoor studio of ‘Beautiful Things by Jasmine’ to explore ancient techniques with stunning one-of-a-kind results to apply to your pot surfaces.

Select one alternative firing experience from the options listed below and book during your MAKE Session. (additional $80). Once fired, your vessels will be delivered to ‘Beautiful Things by Jasmine’ in Banora Point ready for your next workshop.

Obvara: A 12th-century method using a fermented mixture that creates unique organic patterns.

Hair and Feather: A striking carbonised finish that leaves smoke-like imprints on the surface. Bring along your own natural materials or use the items provided by Jasmine.

Important Note: These vessels are not considered food safe. However, a water-resistant finish is available for purchase at Beautiful Things by Jasmine, which can make the vessels waterproof.
