Handbuilding Clay Workshops

I’d love to take you with me on a personal journey through clay, a deeply intuitive, grounding, and always evolving material. I will personally guide your hands, helping you follow the natural flow of the clay as you explore, create, and connect in a calm, creative space.

In a 2.5-hour privately guided session, you’ll:
• Work in an intimate group
• Explore clay at your own pace while I support your process
• Come alone or with friends, a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people
• Receive a personal portion of clay and hands-on guidance from me
• Relax with herbal tea and light snacks, fully immersing yourself in the creative process

Your piece will be fired, glazed, and ready for pickup in 4–5 weeks, a lasting reminder of your creative journey.

What’s included:
• Personal portion of clay
• Clay tools and aprons
• Herbal tea and light snacks

Techniques covered:
• Pinching
• Coiling
• Slab building

THINKING THROUGH MAKING

IN CERAMICS & NATURAL WINE

Date: Saturday, October 17 
Time: 16:30-19:00
Location: Herenstraat 3, Leiden

Natural wine and ceramics have more in common than you'd think, neither follows a fixed recipe. Both rely on trusting the process and staying open to what emerges.

For this special edition we’re hosted at Cave de la Lune. Here owner Tareq will talk about the parallels between ceramics  and winemaking as crafts. Naturally, Tareq will pour us some delicious wines to prove his point, and keep the creative juices flowing.
