Workshop Details

In this no-experience needed workshop, enjoy the process as you create The Great Pumpkin project using stoneware clay and professional clay glazes.

Inspired by the big and beautiful pumpkins that grow in fall, learn clay hand-building techniques to shape and build your pumpkin and lid during the first visit. Return once the clay is fired to add the colourful glazes and turn this into a charming jack-o-lantern, ready to hold your next treat or treasure! 🎃

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1.5 hours of instruction, stay up to 30 min after to finesse. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1 hour, depending on the amount of detail :)

Workshop FAQs

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay. 

"Double, double, toil, and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble."
