Mini Planters

Are you looking to explore your creativity and try your hand at ceramics? Then, look no further than our Clay Mini Planters hand building workshop! Join us as we experiment with texture, shape, and colour, using pinch, slab, and coiling techniques to create the desired shape and texture your beautiful unique planters.

First, the clay is wedged to remove air pockets and ensure consistency. Then, it’s shaped and molded into the desired form using one or more of the above techniques. The surface may be decorated with various tools, textures, or glazes. Afterward, the planter is left to dry before being fired in a kiln to harden and strengthen the clay. Finally, the planter is glazed and kiln fired again.

Throughout the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to make and decorate two to three medium-sized ceramic planters, perfect for displaying your favourite succulents or small houseplants. Plus, you’ll receive guidance and support from our experienced instructor, who will help you bring your vision to life.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, our Mini Planter workshop is designed to provide an engaging and fun learning experience for all. You’ll leave with not only your own beautiful planters but also newfound skills and knowledge in the art of ceramics.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your spot today and get ready to unleash your creativity and have fun in our Clay Mini Planters workshop.

I attended the platter making workshop. It was so wonderful!! We had a great teacher, a really nice group size and heaps of time to make and decorate our platters. I’m excited to pick up my platters once they’ve been fired.

Lara was a great tutor for our ceramics workshop. It was only her first time as a tutor and i thought she did a great job. Excellent instruction without a lot of talking and reading. Just getting onto showing us what to do. A very enjoyable workshop and i cant wait to see the finished product in a few weeks once they have been fired
