WORKSHOP DESIGNED FOR A TEAM: Participate in this workshop with your colleagues and create unique memories together.
In this hand building pottery workshop, ceramicist Florence will introduce your team to the therapeutic and creative world of shaping clay into functional art.
The session begins with a demonstration of basic hand building techniques. Throughout the workshop your team will have the opportunity to experience the tactile, mindful process of working with clay, which is known to promote relaxation and focus. This workshop is a great way to encourage collaboration and help your team unplug from their computer screens while tapping into their creativity.
Under Florence's guidance you will create your own unique bowls, jewellery or even espresso cups, with the opportunity to personalise your pieces with different textures and designs. For a more bespoke experience, you can contact Florence in advance if you'd like to create a specific item, such as a team emblem or even pieces with your company logo, fostering a deeper connection to your corporate culture.
Once the creative process is complete, Flo will glaze and fire your group's creations. This important final step ensures that the pieces are both durable and beautifully finished. Four to six weeks after the workshop, your team's hand-crafted ceramics will be ready for collection or delivery.
This pottery workshop is an opportunity for your team to not only learn a new skill, but to engage in a mindful and rewarding activity that encourages collaboration!

Practical information
Your venue must have access to water and space for all participants to sit at a table / work surface.
All materials and tools will be provided!
You may want to cut your nails before the event as this can make it easier, but it is not essential.
As with the nature of ceramics, there is always a chance that pieces can get broken along the way or during the firing. Whilst this is very rare, it can occasionally happen.
Meet Florence
Ceramic artist
Discover the world of ceramics with Florence, a creative force with a passion for sculptural expression through clay.
Florence's artistic journey began with a Fine Art degree from Wimbledon College of Art, followed by an MA from the renowned Slade School of Fine Art. It was here that ceramics first captured her imagination, intertwining with her sculptural practice. The pandemic served as a catalyst for change, propelling Florence to immerse herself in ceramics, culminating in a flourishing career shift.
Starting as a sculpture and installation artist, Florence crafted monumental, site-specific installations using various materials. She also honed her skills in exhibition management at art galleries. As her passion for ceramics deepened, Florence's sculptor background now influences her vibrant, sculptural ceramic designs, breathing life into everyday objects.
Florence's ceramics champion conscious living, individuality and originality, urging us to reject mass-produced items in favour of supporting local artisans. Through her work, she encourages us to embrace slow shopping, invest in handmade pieces, and celebrate the beauty of unique creations.
Running workshops is Florence's way of merging her love for ceramics with a desire to inspire others. Sharing knowledge and fostering creativity is her driving force. Guiding individuals to explore their artistic side, learn new skills, and experience the joy of creation is what motivates her.
Florence's ceramic designs embody a vibrant celebration of colour, texture, and form. Each piece exudes playfulness and tactile charm, bringing a splash of happiness to daily life.
Step into one of Florence's workshops and embark on a journey of creativity and learning. In a relaxed and enjoyable environment, participants discover new techniques, explore their artistic potential, and create something tangible. Florence's workshops provide a window into the world of ceramics, offering accessible introductions to different techniques that can lay the foundation for further exploration.
