# Event Details - **Event Name**: Handbuilding Pottery Workshop: Functional Forms - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 25 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: Get your hands in the clay. Build something beautiful. Make it yours. All ages welcome!About this EventThere's something quietly extraordinary about shaping a piece of clay with your own two hands — and watching it become something you'll actually use. In this two-part workshop, you'll be guided through the fundamentals of handbuilding pottery in a relaxed, supportive space where curiosity is welcomed and there are no wrong shapes.Working with coil building, slab rolling, and sculpting techniques, you'll create your own functional pieces — think cups, bowls, vases, or simple sculptures — entirely your own from start to finish. The first session is dedicated to building and forming your work, while the second brings it all together with glazing and colour before your pieces are kiln-fired and ready to take home.Part 1: Tuesday, June 25 | 6:00–8:00 PMPart 2: Tuesday, July 30 | 6:00–8:00 PMWho is this for:This workshop is perfect for anyone who has ever wanted to try pottery but didn't know where to begin — and just as rewarding for those looking to reconnect with the joy of making something by hand.
