Clay endures. Across centuries, it has carried water, grain, wine, and memory — shaping vessels that outlast the hands that made them. In this three-part series, Slow Forms: Large-Scale Vessels, we explore traditional, large-scale coiling techniques to shape contemporary vessels that are generous in size and presence, and which echo ancient and monumental forms.
Working at scale, we follow the rhythms of the clay, returning week by week as it strengthens and settles. There will be the option to explore traditional surface decorations in the final week.
This retreat is over three Saturdays: 15 Nov, 22 Nov and 29 Nov
Each retreat day together runs from 10AM until 2PM
Floral tea and light refreshments will be offered throughout the workshop
This retreat is for all-levels, including complete beginners
Space is highly limited to receive maximum guidance
All tools, materials and guidance will be provided and firing is included as well
You will leave having created a single, vast vessel in your choice of clay (terracotta, toasted stoneware or white stoneware) which will be yours to collect around 4–6 weeks later, after careful drying and firing
You can join a glazing workshop at a later date for this should you wish but we will explore gorgeous techniques during this series
You can find our booking policy here
We so look forward to welcoming you in for this very special workshop
