Shape & Clay
Ceramic Workshop - Unleash your creativity
Service Description
Join our handbuilding ceramic workshop where creativity takes center stage. Whether you have a clear vision or want to explore and experiment, this session gives you the space to bring your ideas to life using traditional handbuilding techniques. I’ll guide you through each step, from shaping the clay to adding personal touches - and you’ll also have the option to paint your piece during the same session. This class is open to everyone: no experience needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore! While every step is guided individually to support successful results, the nature of clay and the firing process means that minor imperfections may occur from time to time. These natural variations are part of the craft, and the studio cannot be held responsible for them. Pieces will be ready in 3–4 weeks from the date of the workshop. Shipping, if needed, will be at the buyer’s expense, plus a 3€ packaging fee. Additionally, pieces will be stored in the studio for up to 3 months from the date of the workshop. Weekday sessions can be booked up to 1 hour before the workshop starts, subject to availability. Weekend sessions require at least 12 hours notice. In the event that a weekend booking is made less than 12 hours before the session, TOCA Handmade Ceramics reserves the right to cancel or disregard the booking and will contact the participant directly if this applies. Included in the Guided Workshops Membership.
