Our talented potter will spend the evening teaching you the art of hand-building & ceramic painting in this fun workshop. The crew at Swan River Distillery will be kicking off the workshop with a pop-up bar, serving their signature sloe-gin cocktails.
In this pottery workshop, you’ll use your hands to sculpt and create beautiful ceramic items focusing on the free-form and organic qualities that hand-building can offer. Our creative expert will show you techniques to create vases, bowls & mugs.
Once you’ve made your item, you will also learn how to paint your clay creations with special underglaze paints. Underglazes are paints which can be fired in the kiln and make your items that extra bit special.
This workshop is perfect for date night, catch-ups, or a fun night with friends. All skill levels are welcome!
Clay is a fun hobby, that is perfect for those wanting to try something different.
What this workshop includes:
- All equipment and tools required including clay & under glazes
- Firing and glazing for 2 pieces
- Instructions & guidance from one of Perth’s best Ceramicists
- A gin cocktail on arrival and win throughout
- Grazing board to enjoy during the session
- Loose leaf teas, coffee, and juice
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!
