We’ve all accidentally cracked our clay, but now we’re going to do it on purpose!

Join Paola Nigris as she guides you through the exciting process of creating beautiful, intentional cracks and textures in clay using sodium silicate and contrasting slips. Paola will demonstrate different methods, showing how various types of clay can yield unique results, giving you a range of textured finishes to explore. (Then you'll be able to have a crack! 😉)

By the end of the class, you'll have at least one finished piece of greenware to take home, with your own cracked masterpiece! Clay and slips will be provided, but feel free to bring your favourite clay to experiment with. Soft brushes and rubber kidneys are optional, but welcome.

No experience required—just a love for texture and creativity. Come ready to get your hands dirty and have fun with textures!
