Create with Air-dry CLAY | Studio Yellow

Everyone benefits from the tactile experience of working with clay.

This hands-on workshop is guided by Natalie Lynch, who will teach the basics of clay making. Step by step, she will demonstrate simple hand-building techniques before giving participants the chance to get their hands dirty. There will be time to slow down, relax, and experiment with the medium, creating fun and creative functional or decorative pieces. Whether it's trinket bowls, pencil holders, tiny houses, wall pockets, incense or candle holders, or jewellery, the possibilities are endless.

Pottery is an ancient practice with many restorative benefits. While this session isn’t therapy, Natalie believes that working with clay can be incredibly therapeutic. Like any form of art-making, the moment hands start shaping the clay, attention shifts away from everyday concerns.

It’s even okay to squash a piece at the end of the session because the final result isn’t what matters. This workshop is all about the experience—how playing with clay makes you feel.

As adults, making time for light-hearted, playful experiences is one of the most healing things we can do, and Natalie is excited to share this creative journey with you.

    Natalie Lynch | Studio Yellow

In this session you’ll:

  • LEARN 3 hand-building techniques – Pinch, Slab and Coil.
  • RELAX as you become fully engrossed in the making process.
  • PLAY with the clay as you practice and build one or more pieces. I will be there to support you every step of the way.

Natalie will show you actual examples of simple (and tasteful) hand-made objects and vessels (and demonstrate how they were made) then let you decide what you would like to create.

You will be using artist-quality air-dry clay, so your pieces will NOT need to fired (cooked) in a professional Kiln.

Your investment: $115 per person- includes all materials, resources and equipment, or sign up with a family member, aged 10 – 25 for $170 (save $55).

Tea/ Coffee is provided.
