Soft from workshop

In this restorative process-focused workshop, students are guided through a contemplative exploration of form within a quiet and supportive context.


Entering a meditative frame and working with slow, sensory invitations to explore shape – we will focus on touch through pinch and further develop our collective how of working with clay. Through investigation, participants will develop a small cup or vessel which they may choose to fire at the end of the workshop.

No previous clay or meditation experience required. 

This workshop is given in English only.


This session includes:

  • The clay needed

  • Your two created items

  • The firing and glazing of your two pieces with our transparent glaze.

  • Here’s how a “mug and a plate” session unfolds:

    • Welcome and explanation of the workshop process (5 minutes).
      We do not accept late arrivals more than 5 minutes after the start time. No refunds or rescheduling will be offered in that case.

    • Step-by-step group demonstration (approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes).

    • You’ll then explore the finishing touches and details on your own, with support from the instructor who will circulate and assist as needed (approximately 15 minutes).

    • Cleaning of tables and materials (approximately 15 minutes).
      This is part of the practice! Pottery also means cleaning.

    • Conclusion of the session (10 minutes).

      • You’ll be invited to choose glaze colors made in-house, for an additional fee of $5 per piece and/or per colour.

  • Please arrive 15 minutes before the session begins and wait in our gallery space.

    Important: Latecomers arriving more than 5 minutes after the session starts will not be admitted, out of respect for the class structure and other participants. No refunds or rescheduling will be possible.

    Your instructor will invite you into the studio at the scheduled start time.

    This pottery class is for adults only.

    A few recommendations before your pottery session:

    • Keep your nails short

    • Do not wear rings, bracelets, or watches

    • Wear appropriate clothing and shoes for a studio environment

  • One piece fired and glaze in transparent is included in this workshop.

    You will receive an email approximately one month after your session, once your ceramic piece is ready for pickup. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder!

    You will then have 2 weeks to come pick up your pieces during our designated pickup hours. Please bring the email with you. If you are unavailable, you may ask someone else to pick up your pieces — they must show your email as proof.

    After the 2-week period, any unclaimed pieces will be donated.

    Please note that your piece may crack or break during firing — pottery takes practice! This is why this workshop is focused on the experience, not the final result.
