Create
The joy of creating with clay lies in the tactile pleasure of shaping raw material into something beautiful. Whether on the wheel or by hand, the process is both meditative and exhilarating, as you watch your imagination take form. Participate in workshops and collaborate with other artists to build and develop your unique style.
Glaze
Glazing your creations adds an extra layer of excitement to the pottery process, where colour, texture, and finish come together to transform your piece. The anticipation of seeing how the glaze will react in the kiln adds a sense of wonder, as each piece emerges with its own unique character, revealing the full potential of your artistic vision.
Fire
Firing your pieces in our community kiln is a shared, exciting experience. Placing your work among others builds anticipation, and when the kiln opens, there's a collective joy in seeing the transformation. Our dedicated Kiln Operator handles this process and is available to train individual members to operate the kilns on their own.
