Female Forms

In this workshop, we’re exploring the female form through clay, creating an expressive vessel using the coiling technique.

This is a slower, more intuitive process that encourages you to focus on curves, shape and personal expression, rather than trying to create something perfectly symmetrical or technically precise.

You’ll learn how to build your vessel gradually using coils, exploring the proportions and shapes of the body as you go. Whether you choose to create a body, bust or more abstract form, there’s plenty of room to interpret the idea in your own way.

We’ll focus on form rather than perfection, allowing the natural character of the clay and your own hands to guide the finished piece.

This workshop is perfect for beginners with some patience or anyone looking to slow down, reconnect with their creativity and explore the human form through clay.

Take your time, embrace the imperfections and enjoy the process of creating something that feels uniquely yours.
