2026 Clay Club - Thursdays - Leslie

Service Description

🌿 Join our Weekly Clay Club for 2026 ! A relaxed, friendly weekly session where you’ll explore clay at your own pace, learn new techniques, and build confidence through guided creative projects. No pressure, no identical outcomes — just hands-on making and supportive help in a small group. 💡 What to Expect Our Clay Club follows a simple, easy rhythm so you always know where you’re at: ✨ 3 Weeks Making Each block begins with three creative weekly sessions. You’ll work on your own projects with help, mini demos, and technique guidance. You can tealight holders, plaques, sculptures, figures, tiles — whatever inspires you! I’ll support you with shaping, joining, slab work, sculpting basics, texture, and surface decoration. 🔥 1 Week Off (Studio Firing) No session. Your pieces dry, get fired, and are prepared for glazing. This gives you a natural pause and a chance to start fresh next block. 🎨 1 Week Glazing/Painting Come back to glaze or paint your work using a range of colours and finishes. I’ll guide you through painting and glazing basics and have glazed items ready to collect 1 week later. Then the cycle repeats — more making, more learning, more creativity! 🧰 What’s Included All clay, tools and equipment Firings throughout the block Use of glazes and paint Mini technique demos each week Personal guidance on your ideas A calm, welcoming space to unwind and create Support with tidying, storing and caring for your work 👩‍🏫 What This Club Is A relaxed space to play with clay Technique support as you build your own projects Ideal for beginners and those wanting regular creative time A mix of structure + freedom 🚫 What This Club Isn’t Not a step-by-step workshop Not everyone making the same item Not a fully taught sculpture or project class (Those are available separately as dedicated workshops!)
