Join ceramicist and Great Canadian Pottery Throwdown contestant Michael Wood for a five-part, hands-on exploration of clay, creativity, and functional form. This immersive workshop series is designed for both beginners and experienced makers, offering a supportive and inspiring environment to learn and create.
Each session focuses on a unique project — from mugs and lidded boxes to textured bowls and serving dishes — while building skills in both foundational and advanced handbuilding techniques. The final class is dedicated to glazing and surface decoration, allowing you to add personal flair to your finished pieces.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to deepen your clay practice, this course offers a chance to connect, create, and grow under the guidance of a skilled and passionate instructor.
