Clay, Play & Connect Mondays

Clay, Create & Connect Pottery for Wellbeing Mondays 9.30am – 12.30pm 5-Week Hand-Building Pottery Journey Slow down. Create. Connect. What if three hours each Friday became the most nourishing part of your week? Imagine arriving at a peaceful studio surrounded by nature, taking a deep breath, enjoying a cup of chai, and leaving the outside world behind. Your hands sink into soft clay. Your mind becomes quiet. Conversation flows naturally. There is no pressure to be perfect. No expectations. No experience required. Just permission to slow down, create and reconnect. Working with clay has been shown to encourage mindfulness, reduce stress and create a sense of calm. As your hands become busy, your nervous system has the opportunity to soften, allowing creativity to replace overthinking. This is more than learning pottery. It’s about making space for yourself. Over five inspiring weeks you’ll learn: Pinch Pot Building Coiling Slab Construction Surface Texture & Decoration Joining & Finishing Techniques Underglazes & Glazing Create beautiful functional and decorative pieces you’ll treasure for years. Each week gently builds on the last, so you’ll leave with both new skills and growing confidence. This course is perfect if you: ✔ You’ve always wanted to try pottery. ✔ You’re looking for time just for yourself. ✔ You’d like to slow down and feel calmer. ✔ You enjoy being creative. ✔ You’d love to meet like-minded people. ✔ You think you’re “not artistic.” ✔ You’re looking for something meaningful instead of another busy week. Included 🤎 Five guided pottery workshops 🤎 Up to 5kg of clay 🤎 Use of all studio tools 🤎 Tea & Homemade Chai available at the Cafe 🤎 A beautiful, welcoming studio surrounded by nature (Firing and glazing are charged separately at $15 per kg.) What to bring • An apron • A journal if you’d like to record your pottery journey • A plate to share for morning tea (optional) • Clothes you don’t mind getting a little clay on Come on your own Many people arrive not knowing anyone. By the end of five weeks, it’s common for strangers to become friends. Banksia Place is warm & welcoming Our Philosophy Create with curiosity, not criticism.
