Coiling Clay: A Meditative Ceramics Workshop

A meditative coil-building ceramics workshop.

This hands-on studio experience will be a guided workshop focused on coil-building with clay. Students will learn the basics of coil-building and pinching with clay and can choose to make one or two pieces, either functional or sculptural. The workshop will focus on the meditative practice of feeling the clay move between pinches. Following the building, students will get to decorate their creations with underglaze. The workshops will be a creative exploration and students should feel free to bring a few sketches or ideas with them.

All clay and tools will be available at the Pendle Hill studio for students, but bringing an apron is encouraged. Participants will be able to pick up finished pieces within a month of the workshop, once pieces have been bisque and glaze fired.
