Thursday Clay Club at Queenston Pottery

Event Details

Unlock your creativity every week at the Thursday Clay Club. Whether you want to try your hand at the potter's wheel or explore the art of handbuilding and sculpting, each session brings a fresh, new project to the studio. From whimsical garden stakes and nature tiles to functional wine cups and platters, there's always something unique to create. Join us for a single afternoon or make it your weekly creative escape. No experience is necessary-just bring your curiosity! No membership required, just a curiosity for creating with clay! Every Thursday | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM Join us in the heart of our working studio for a weekly dose of creativity! Our Thursday Clay Club is designed for those who want to explore the endless possibilities of clay in a fun, relaxed, and social environment. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned hobbyist, you're invited to pull up a stool and create with us. The Experience There is no set syllabus here; instead, we embrace the rhythm of the studio. Every week features a different project or technique, ranging from the meditative flow of the potter's wheel to the intricate details of sculpting and handbuilding . Possible projects include: On the Wheel: Introduction to throwing. From minis to "wonky" bowls and more (Limited to 6 guests on throwing days!) Sculpted Works: Honey pots, wine cups, and garlic keepers. Slab & Surface: Wall vases, garden stakes, nature tiles, and carved candle holders. Home Accents: Hump platters, mirrors, and our signature fish or rooster ovals. Small and Dainty: Shoe lace charms, ornaments, and earrings How it Works: Flexible Attendance: Come once to try it out, or join us every week to build your skills. The Process: As with all things clay, your pieces won't be ready to take home the same day. They need time to dry and undergo their first firing. Glazing: We will schedule dedicated glazing sessions so you can return to add the finishing colors and kiln-fired shine to your own creations. All levels welcome: Just bring your curiosity (and clothes you don't mind getting a little dusty), we'll provide the clay, the tools, and the inspiration! Space is limited; book your spot for this Thursday! Classes start at $85 + GST
