Sculpting Ceramics - Coiled Clay Pots

Coiled Clay Pots Workshop: Shape, Coil & Create Your Own Vessels

Immerse yourself in the hands-on art of hand-building with clay in this creative workshop. Participants will learn the traditional coiling technique, building beautiful, textured pots and vessels from the ground up. You’ll explore how to shape coils, join them seamlessly, and experiment with surface textures and patterns to make each piece truly unique.

This workshop encourages both creativity and mindfulness, offering a relaxed environment where beginners and more experienced makers alike can develop their skills. You’ll gain practical techniques for hand-building with clay, learn how to refine and decorate your pieces, and understand the steps for drying and firing to turn your creation into a lasting work of art.

By the end of the session, each participant will leave with a handmade coiled clay pot ready to continue its journey into a finished, cherished piece.
