Our talented potter Alida from 'Made by Alida' will spend the afternoon teaching you the art of hand-building in this fun Saturday workshop. Nestled in tropical oasis Henry Summer, be inspired to create something unique to your style and sip of some delicious cocktails while you create.

In this pottery workshop, you’ll use your hands to sculpt and create some beautiful ceramic mugs and vases, focusing on the free-form and organic qualities that hand-building can offer. Alida will show you techniques to create vases, bowls & mugs and then you can spend the next few hours creating whatever your heart desires.

This workshop is a perfect way to take some time for yourself or a catch up with friends. All skill levels are welcome, this workshop is designed to enjoy with a cocktail in hand and tasty bites to enjoy.

What to bring:

Clay is wonderfully messy! It does wash out of clothes, but if you are super messy we'd recommend an apron. We have some at the venue if you forget.

Important info about this workshop:

Following the workshop, your pieces will be bisque fired, clear glazed, and glaze fired before being returned for you to collect and treasure within 6-8 weeks.

If you create more than 2 x items, you can pay a kiln & glazing fee per item to turn other creations into usable ceramic vessels. Pricing depends on the size of your creation.

Pottery can be challenging, sometimes on the first go, you might not create something you love. We will do our best to help coach you along the way. Ceramics can sometimes be unpredictable. Due to this, there are limitations on the size of your items, sadly pieces break during the firing process and we want to ensure you have a beautiful and functional piece. Trust us, we have had to learn from heartbreak!

Don't worry though our expert will cover all of this at the start of your workshop.

This workshop experience is unlike any other and is not to be missed!
