Explore your team’s dynamics in our world of clay. Join us for a few hours of creative fun in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Get messy, unleash your creativity. Throw a pot on the wheel from wet clay or paint ready-made pottery. No previous potting experience is necessary, participants with varied interests, backgrounds and capabilities produce unique, usable pottery. The workshops are excellent for enhancing communications and team building.

“Almost everyone has had some pleasurable experience feeling and forming the plasticity of moist clay, if only in the childhood acts of making mud pies….”
Glen C Nelson

Anne Rimbault runs the workshops. A qualified potter who has been teaching for over twenty years and holds weekly classes, she regularly works on commissions, ranging from hand-made dinnerware, tagines and platters to basins. Anne is a member of Ceramics Southern Africa.

The workshops are designed to encourage participation and can be customized to suit. They are relaxed and flexible. We usually spend 1½ hours throwing on the wheel and 1½ hours decorating ready-made biscware, with an hour’s break for lunch. All clay, paint, materials and equipment will be supplied. Pots that are created in the workshop will be finished, glazed and fired by studio staff. They’ll be ready for collection after 2-4 weeks. We can accommodate 6-18 participants per session.

A light lunch or dinner can be provided. Cooldrinks, tea and coffee are included and you’re welcome to bring your own drinks.

Workshops:

Monday or Friday evening 5:30 - 9:30pm

Thursday, Friday or Saturday, any time between 8am - 4pm

Advance booking is essential. A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your booking.

Please bring an apron or old shirt and wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little messy.

“The creative spirit is freed when hands and simple hand tools are employed in making pots”
