Are you ready to embark on a journey of creativity and craftsmanship? Look no further than this hand-building workshop in Santa Clara with Chubby Hands. In this ceramics class, we invite you to dive into the fascinating world of ceramic slab style. Hosted within the cozy confines of Jiaren Cafe, our workshop offers a unique opportunity to explore your artistic potential while sipping on your favorite brew.
During this workshop, you'll embark on a creative adventure by delving into the art of working with clay. This is a great way to learn hand-building basics in a supportive environment! You can even turn this into a fun date night idea or craft day with friends, where you can relax, create, and make handmade ceramics!
What to expect:
What is Ceramic Slab Style?
Ceramic slab style is a versatile and engaging technique that involves shaping clay into flat sheets or "slabs" which are then used to construct various forms and structures. Unlike traditional pottery methods, slab building allows for greater freedom of expression, enabling participants to create personalized pieces ranging from functional dishes to decorative sculptures.
Workshop Experience
At Chubby Hand Ceramic Workshops, we provide a hands-on experience that caters to both beginners and seasoned artisans. Led by experienced ceramicists, our workshops guide you through every step of the process, from preparing the clay to adding intricate details and textures. Whether you're crafting a simple mug or pushing the boundaries of sculptural design, our instructors are on hand to offer guidance and inspiration.
Unleash Your Creativity
One of the highlights of our workshop is the opportunity to unleash your creativity in a supportive and collaborative environment. Experiment with different techniques, shapes, and finishes as you bring your vision to life. With ample space and resources at your disposal, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're drawn to minimalist design or bold experimentation, Chubby Hand Workshop encourages you to embrace your individuality and express yourself through clay.
Community and Connection
Beyond the artistry, Chubby Hand Workshop fosters a sense of community and connection among participants. Share stories, tips, and techniques with fellow enthusiasts as you bond over a shared passion for ceramics. Whether you come alone or with friends, our workshop provides a welcoming space where creativity flourishes and friendships are forged.
Please note that the instructor needs to glaze and fire the ceramics in the kiln two times before they are ready! Participants can pick up their ceramic work 3-4 weeks after their class and notice will be given once their items are ready!
