Create Your Own Pottery Handbuilding Workshop
Join me for a 2-hour pottery handbuilding workshop where you can create up to three medium-sized pieces! Whether you're interested in making a mug, a bowl, a plate, or even three of the same item, the choice is yours. You'll learn the basics of slab, pinch pot, and coil handbuilding techniques, with the flexibility to choose your preferred method.
If you decide to focus on a single project, you'll have extra time to add coloured slip and decorative touches to make it truly unique. This workshop is perfect for a hens night, a birthday celebration, or a creative gathering with friends.
Details:
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Projects: Up to 3 medium-sized pieces (mugs, bowls, or plates)
  • Techniques Covered: Slab, Pinch Pot, and Coil Handbuilding
  • Location: I can come to your place if it's within 13 km. If you're farther away, we can negotiate a travel fee.
  • Pricing: Reasonable pricing to cover travel costs.
  • Note: This workshop is for adults only, as I do not currently have a Blue Card for working with children.
Flexibility: If you prefer a different date and time than what's listed, this can be negotiable.
Clay, firing and glazing included. I will be glazing all of your pieces once they have been fired.
I will require almost half an hour to do the set up and another half an hour for cleaning. This is free of charge and the actual workshop will still go for two hours.
Book your spot today and start creating your own beautiful pottery pieces!

My name is Shontal, I am a passionate ceramic artist based in Fortitude Valley, Australia. I was born in Jordan and moved to Australia in 2001.
My love for ceramics dates back to my childhood when I used to accompany my mother to ceramic classes in Jordan. My journey into the world of ceramics began in May 2021, starting with hand building techniques, but I soon found myself fascinated by the art of throwing on the wheel. Being so in love with pottery, I took the bold step of acquiring my own wheel and began perfecting my throwing skills at my home studio.
My dedication to mastering the art of ceramics led me to explore glazing techniques with a keen interest in Amaco and Maco glazes. While progressing in my pottery journey, I unexpectedly found myself drawn back to hand building, finding it to be an incredibly relaxing and therapeutic experience. Slab hand building became my canvas for crafting unique and beautiful designs, especially in creating captivating mugs. More recently, I have ventured into the realm of coil hand building, resulting in the creation of some stunning large bowls.
Initially, I attended various schools in Brisbane, such as Mas And Meik and Indooroopilly Ceramic Studios, to grasp the basics of ceramics. However, as my skills evolved, I took the initiative to self-educate myself further by exploring different techniques online.
Japanese pottery has captured my heart, and I have started incorporating the Japanese style into my ceramic creations. My artistic inclinations lean toward the allure of matte glazes, intriguing textures, and the art of stamping, carving, and utilizing the sodium silicate technique.
I prefer using white stoneware clay, which I skilfully enhance with Iron Oxide and Cobalt Oxide stains, adding depth and character to my pieces.
In summary, my artistic journey is one of passion, dedication, and continuous exploration. My ceramics beautifully showcase my love for Japanese influence, intriguing textures, and captivating glazing techniques. As I continue to evolve and innovate in my home studio, my work is sure to inspire and delight anyone who appreciates the beauty of handmade ceramics.
