During this workshop, you'll embark on a creative adventure by delving into the art of working with clay. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:
  • Students roll out slabs of clay to create the walls of their vessels.
  • Students will explore creating different textures using stamps, leaves, rocks, and other tools.
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.

Beyond the artistry, Chubby Hand Workshop fosters a sense of community and connection among participants.
