For those interested in having an instructor all to themselves and/or don't have the time for a 4-week pottery class and/or are in a rush to get started right away, the answer to your ceramics needs is a private workshop.
This is your chance to treat yourself and/or one or more of your loved ones.
To a significant extent, the type of workshop event you book with us will depend on the type of clay that best fits your needs: our regular, Hi-fire White clay or Air-dry clay. Because of the different demands on our staff, the two types of clay represent very different price-points for you:
Hi-fire White clay requires quite a bit of work from our studio's staff after the event because of the number of steps involved in the pottery process: "throwing" on the wheel, trimming (prettying up the pieces after they have dried for a few days), firing (after the pieces have dried for another week or so), glazing and then firing again. You or your little group will spend all of its time throwing (or hand-building, if that is what you prefer) and our staff will complete all of the other steps on their own, after your event.
Air-dry clay is designed mainly to give your group the experience of "throwing" on the pottery wheel. It requires no extra work from our team because pieces made with this clay are not conducive to trimming and can not be fired in the kiln. At the end of the event your group will take their pieces with them when they leave (and, if they like, can paint them on their own with any type of acrylic paint). Unlike Hi-fire White Clay, air-dry clay is not food-safe.
All of the following options include 15 minutes of clean up before the end of the event and longer time-periods can be negotiated:
Hi-Fire White Clay Option 1: Full Workshop
You or your small group will spend three hours in our studio learning how to "throw" on the pottery wheel or hand-build or a combination of the two. After the event we will trim, fire (in our kiln), glaze and fire again each participant's 2 favourite pieces that they created during the event and, after a few weeks, the artwork will be ready for pick up. These events are $200 per person.
Hi-Fire White Clay Option 2: Light Workshop:
Same as Option 1 except you or your group will spend two-and-one-half hours in our studio and after the event we will trim, fire (in our kiln), glaze and fire again each participant's favourite (single) piece. These events are $200 for the first person and then $130 per person after that.
"Air-dry" Clay Workshop:
For a 2-1/4 hour event: $150 (booking fee) and $60 per participant;
For a 2-3/4 hour event: $175 (booking fee) and $65 per participant.
A few other potters may be elsewhere in the studio during your event but they will be doing their own thing and your instructor is dedicated to you or your small group. We also have a comfy seating area for pottery breaks.
Please give us a call at 647 667 2259 to talk further about which type of event would work best for your group.
