In your first visit, learn to hand-build your own clay spice jar with decorative patterns with our easy step-by-step instructions. Then, return to the studio for a second visit to add a beautiful blue underglaze to finish your piece.

Size:

Techniques: Hand-building, glazing

Materials: Clay, underglaze

1. Build & Sculpt: 1 hour of building and an extra 30 minutes for smoothing, if needed. Create using 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 hour, depending on the amount of detail :) Book glazing here

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

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.
