Clay Vessel Workshop

Shape Your Vision: Create Timeless Artisan Clay Vessels

Join our artisan clay vessels workshop and discover how to sculpt, shape, and decorate your own timeless, handmade clay vases. Whether you’re inspired by ancient Egyptian styles or modern shapes, you’ll bring your own creative vision to life through clay.

Guided by artisan Cobi, you’ll learn essential techniques to craft unique vases and vessels that reflect your personal style. First, you’ll shape the clay, then explore decorative methods to finish elegant or rustic pieces – perfect for home display or gifts.

You can design a tall flower vase or create a classic Egyptian-style vessel for dried botanicals or olive branches.

No pottery experience is needed; however, those with clay knowledge will also find this class inspiring and creatively fulfilling. Cobi offers step-by-step guidance, sharing tips, and creative encouragement throughout the pottery session.

Once finished, we’ll fire and glaze your vessels in our kiln, giving them a smooth, durable, and professional finish. Because kiln firing takes time, you’ll collect your completed vases a few weeks later – we’ll notify you once they’re ready.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:

All clay workshop materials, tools, glazes, and kiln firing are included – you just need to bring your imagination and enthusiasm.
This class is about slowing down, getting your hands dirty, and connecting with your creative instincts. Above all, you’ll leave with not only beautiful vessels, but also new pottery skills and artistic confidence.

WHAT YOU WILL MAKE:

Choose from artisan clay vases, hand-sculpted vessels, or experiment with both during the session – there’s plenty of room to explore. What ever you make, your final pieces will be practical, decorative, and one-of-a-kind and perfect for your home or to give as handmade gifts.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP:

This clay workshop is ideal for beginners and intermediate makers who want to learn pottery in a relaxed, inspiring environment.
However, participants must be 16+ due to the use of tools and materials during the session.
