April Workshop | 1.5 hours + Glazing

Bunny Jar

Join us for this 2-visit* clay workshop!

Hip, hop, hooray! Join us this April to create a very special Bunny Jar ready for mini eggs, treats or candies! *Glazing is not included in the building price for all 2 part workshops.

Workshop Details

In this workshop, we'll learn to handbuild a beautiful jar and lid in the shape of a friendly little bunny using stoneware clay. These little characters are perfect for a desk or table, or anywhere you want to add some charm to your home!

Return for part 2 to add the colourful glazes and watch your bunny's personality come to life! Our clay workshops are not just about the finished result, but rather about enjoying the process, and cherishing quality time with your loved ones (bring one along with you 💜)!

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1.5 hours of instruction. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least 14 days after your build date. We recommend booking 1-1.5 hours, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pick Up: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 14 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pickup.

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay. 

"April, the month of blossoms, bunnies, and the promise of new beginnings."
