Mindful Making Workshops

Small group workshop in North Somerset.  A gentle time for you to pause, reduce stress, by focusing on the present moment and explore creativity through clay.

Disconnect. Create. Reset.

Hands on Clay

There’s something deeply therapeutic about working with clay. The weight of it in your hands. The focus required when handling it. The permission to be messy, imperfect, creative.

Our workshops are small (max 6 people), unhurried, and designed for all experience levels. Whether you’ve never touched clay before or you’re a seasoned potter, you’ll leave feeling peaceful, proud of what you have created and better equipped to handle the stresses of the days ahead.

All workshops include:

  • All materials and equipment
  • refreshments
  • A lovely few hours away from screens and stress

Location: Red Lodge, North Somerset (exact address provided upon booking)

Workshop 1: Mindful Clay.

Mindful Hand-building pottery – pinching and coiling – is meditative. Just your hands, the clay, and time. We’ll work with simple techniques to create small bowls, dishes, or decorative pieces alongside some simple mindfulness practises. The focus is on the process, slowing down and mindfully creating, not perfection.
