POTTERY CLASSES

THE PEARL QANAT QUARTIER

Clay Encounters is located in the beautiful and calm Qanat Quartier, at The Pearl. Our studios are on the boardwalk by the canal with lots of natural light to create the perfect space to escape and get your hands busy!

TYPES OF CLASSES

All pieces take around 3 weeks to be ready.

They take a few days to become leather hard, we trim wheel pieces and clean up hand built pieces. They are then labelled and left to dry for about 10 days (depending on the weather). They are then bisque fired, glazed, and fired one final time to make them food safe.

    A class of 4 people focused on marbling 2 different clay colors. Day 1 is 1.5 hours of wedging and wheel throwing. Day 2 is focused on trimming to reveal the pattern. The 2 colors are typically white and brown.
