GROUP POTTERY WORKSHOPS

At JustPotters we recognize the value of art-making and its therapeutic qualities. Participation in the visual arts creates opportunities for uninhibited self-expression, self-development, transformation and, when done as a group, community growth. Our workshops are designed to be inclusive and appropriate for persons of all abilities and are created to:
​
• Enhance self-development through self-expression and learning new skills
• Build self-confidence and interrelationship skills
• Explore the powerful relationship between art, play, and its therapeutic qualities

Below are samples of some of the workshops we offer:
  • Clay Experience:  This workshop is an open concept class. It’s time to relax, play and enjoy the meditative and healing aspects of clay. A tutorial will be given on the different techniques you can use. The remainder of the workshop is a time for each member to explore their creative side and make any creation they like! 
  • Cup Making Workshop:  Following an introduction on the process of slab-building cups, instructors will work closely with each participant to help ensure their projects are a success. All items made by participants will be fired and glazed by our staff with the colours of their choice. 
  • Building with Coils: Coil building is an intuitive technique which leads to amazing creations. Previous participants have made bowls, platters, cups and vases. A 20 minute tutorial is given on coil building techniques. The remainder of the workshop is a time for members to explore their creative side and make any creation they like! All items made by the participants will be fired and glazed by our staff with the colours of their choice.
