Workshop – Ceramic Meditation

The clay is waiting for your hands. It’s soft, malleable – it listens. There are no rules here, no demands – just a space where you can be present in the act of creating. In this workshop, you'll learn coiling and pinching, but the techniques are just tools – it’s the feeling that leads the way. Maybe you’ll create a large, expressive vase, a set of soft, organic bowls, or something only you can imagine. This isn’t about perfection. It’s about letting go of control and allowing your hands to guide you. About giving yourself time to breathe, to feel, and to create without pressure. If you like, you’re welcome to bring your own drink (BYOB), lean into the process, and let the clay guide you. When you leave, you won’t just have made something unique – you’ll have experienced a moment of focus, calm, and creative freedom. Come as you are. Let your hands speak.
