return to add the colourful glaze once you've sculpted your pooch with many colours to choose from. 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 💜)!

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.
