Workshop Details

Light up the night this winter with a Little Stone House. Bring that warm and cozy feeling into your home with a beautiful electric tea light lantern that is both simple and elegant.

Master some interesting clay techniques to create this beautiful design, with no previous clay experience required. Return to add the glossy glaze finish and have it home for the holidays to cozy up your space!

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 1 hour of instruction, stay up to 30 min after to finesse. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Request a clear dip or return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least 8 days after your build date. We recommend booking 1 hour, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pick Up: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 8 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pick up.

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay.
