Please note this workshop takes place during local School Districts Spring Break. Kindly plan accordingly. :-)

Hands On Pottery presents Make a Wall Pocket Planter! This one-night workshops at Hands On Pottery is a great way to experience what it’s like to create something out of clay using the technique called “coil-building” or making a “coil-pot”.

You will learn how to make your set of 2 ceramic planters out of coils in one night! We will guide you through the process – transforming long “noodles” of clay into your very own planter.

Once you’ve finished making your planters, you will choose the colour of glaze and our team will complete the glazing and firing process. Your finished handmade ceramic planters will be ready within 3-4 weeks. (We’ll email you when it’s ready.)

All attendee’s must be 16+.

Please note that this is a hand-building class and does not involve using a potter’s wheel. You can sign up for one-night wheel workshops here!
