Discover the beauty and expressive qualities of porcelain clay in this beginner friendly sculpting workshop. Participants will learn basic sculpting techniques while exploring the unique qualities of this refined and luminous medium.

Trust Your Intuition with Porcelain Clay

June 27, 2026-/ 9:30-4:30 (one hour lunch break)

$225 Clay and firing included

Develop and strengthen your intuition through the hands on experience of working with porcelain clay. In this welcoming workshop, clay becomes a tool for slowing down, sensing, and learning to trust your inner guidance. Through simple clay techniques, guided imagery, and intuition development exercises, participants will explore creative impulses and intuitive decision making. No clay experience is needed just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
