Our weekly classes have been experimenting with a new decorative technique, where coloured clay is rolled in to balls and applied in feather like patterns across the surface of the pot.

We’ve searched far and wide (on the internet) and this technique doesn’t seem to have a name.. would love to know if anyone has heard of one.

Friends of Clay ♥️

Last Friday, we hosted the final talk in our Friends of Clay series, a collection of conversations with potters who’ve each been part of the Clay journey. .savage.pots and were kind enough to share their paths into ceramics, as well as give a demonstration along the way.

A huge thank you to Frances, Danny and all the wonderful potters who have so generously shared their time, stories, and experiences with us over the past year. It’s been such an inspiring series to be part of.

So, what’s next…? A big birthday party, that’s what. Keep an eye out for more information on our upcoming 10th birthday celebration.
