    Hand modelling

    We’ll explore foundational techniques—pinch, slab, and coil—and freely experiment with form and texture.

    We recommend beginning with a minimum 10-hour pack so you can truly dive in, explore the techniques, and create pieces you’ll fall in love with.

  • Hands holding a large piece of clay or dough on a flat surface.

Our Guarantees

  • ✺

    A Quiet Space for a Loud Mind
    More than just a studio, it’s a revitalizing environment where your process can unfold at its own pace. Through the tactile, repetitive nature of working with clay, stress hormones like cortisol can decrease, and the nervous system begins to settle. Here, each gesture supports presence, calm, and a deep sense of restoration.

  • ✺

    Safe & Sustainable Studio Practice
    The studio is fully equipped for safe ceramic work: proper ventilation, a well-aerated space, vented kilns, and 100% lab-tested, food-safe glazes. All materials are selected with technical care and long-term safety in mind.

  • ✺

    Curated Artistic Development
    Guided by a professional art curator, the studio offers a fresh perspective on your practice. Whether you're just starting or deep in your journey, it’s a space to explore your work with care, intention, and new insight.

 FAQs

  • At Clay & Tao, the courses are tailored to you:

    • If you’d like a structured program, I’ll design one for you — with step-by-step guidance, exercises, and tracked progress to help you grow steadily as a maker.

    • If you prefer to explore freely, the studio also welcomes that approach. You’ll always have the space, materials, and gentle support when (and if) you need it.

    • Many students choose something in between — starting with some structure, then gradually exploring at their own rhythm.

    • Techniques available include hand modeling, glaze experimentation, pit firing, and wheel throwing, all adapted to your pace and interests
