*SPECIAL WORKSHOP* Slab Built Clock w/ Brendan from Indoor Ceramics

Workshop Duration: This is a one-day workshop (2.5 hours in length)

Dates/Times:

Tuesday, April 7th from 5:30 - 8:00pm

Workshop Description:

Students will work in a small workshop to design and make their own wall clock. Brendan will walk you through each step, from working with slabs and appliqués to refining your design. Create a new clock for your home or as a gift for someone special. Working with stoneware, you’ll have the opportunity to make a wall clock up to 14” in diameter. You can adorn it with a textured finish, paint an underglaze design, or select a coloured glaze. Samples of different finishes will be provided.

Finished work will be ready for pickup from The Clay Warehouse approximately three weeks after the workshop. Clock hardware will be provided. In this workshop, you’ll gain an understanding of slab-built ceramic techniques and the design decisions involved before starting a project. All materials and tools are included.

About the Instructor: 

Brendan Carroll (he/him) is an instructor at The Clay Warehouse. His work primarily focuses on slab-built forms and practical design, with an emphasis on technique, patience, and problem-solving. Brendan enjoys helping students get comfortable with clay, whether they’re brand new to ceramics or expanding their skills beyond the wheel.

Workshop Details:

Location: The Clay Warehouse - #10-1770 McLean Ave. Port Coquitlam, BC, V4C 4 K8

Dates/Times:

Tuesday, April 7th from 5:30 - 8:00pm

Materials: All necessary materials are provided, including clay, tools, clock hardware, firing services, and studio glazes.

Post Workshop: Once your piece is finished, we will fire it in our kiln twice. You will get to choose your choice of glaze, or to leave your vessel unglazed. This process could take up to three weeks to complete. When your vessel is finished, we will email you pick up times. Clock hardware will be provided at the end of the workshop so students finish their clock.

Limited Slots Available: To ensure Brendan can give everyone plenty of hands-on guidance, we’ve kept this class to a maximum of 8 attendees per workshop.

No Clay Experience Required:

This class is ideal for those new to clay, seeking a different method than the potter's wheel, or looking to refresh old skills.
