About the class:
Join Clay Wild for a relaxing queer pottery workshop! The class will be focusing on traditional hand-building techniques using minimal tools and is suitable for all levels.
In this class, we will be making creations that could be used to hold crystals, incense, candles & more! Participants will be shown different techniques and guided through how to personalise their creations.
We will also be joined by Heather Pearson. Heather is a writer, witch, and tarot reader—creating a safe space for you to connect to your soul’s natural wisdom. Her approach is grounding, insightful, and accessible. Participants will all have the opportunity to receive a tarot reading during the class. Tarot readings are included in the ticket price.
No experience necessary - suitable for all levels! This is a class prioritising queer joy, embodiment and creativity in a safe, sober space.
Your clay will still be delicate upon completion and boxes will be provided to take it home in.
