Shape & Fun: Hand-built Creations - Animal Shaped Vase
Create a Functional Friend, make your own handmade animal shaped vase or bowl.
In our Shape&Fun guided ceramics events participants will focus on crafting a specific object, such as a bowl, vase, teapot, plates, cups, or decorative pieces. Under the expert guidance of our instructor, you'll be led through each step of the creation process, learning techniques to shape and form your chosen piece.
In this specific event you will learn how to shape a functional object in the shape of an animal, being imaginary or made after your very own pet. Under the expert guidance of our instructor, you'll be led through each step of the creation process, learning techniques to shape and form your chosen piece. While the instructor will demonstrate the methods to achieve the desired end product, there will also be room for personalization, with discussions on various shapes, forms, and creative ideas.
You will transform clay into a charming animal-shaped vase in this beginner-friendly, one-time workshop. No prior experience is necessary, just bring your creativity.
Over 2,5 engaging hours, you'll:
- Uncover the Magic of Clay: learn how to shape it and make it bend to your will.
- Explore Playful Handbuilding: Learn basic methods of construction to create your chosen animal form.
- Bring Your Animal to Life: Add fun details and features, personalising your vase and expressing your artistic vision.
- Finishing Touches: Master the techniques to ensure your creation is ready for firing and future use as a delightful vase.
This workshop is ideal for experimenting with a new creative medium to craft a delightful and functional piece for your home or as a gift, while you can enjoy a fun and social experience with friends or family.
Once your creation is done you can also decide to paint them by booking a painting class at any suitable time and you will recieve a discount to paint your own handmade ceramic objects.
Leave the workshop with a completed animal-shaped vase, ready for firing. After completing the crafting process, your items will be glazed and fired, ready to be collected after 3 to 4 weeks.
