Workshop: Hand-building 101 - full moon rituals
Workshop: Hand-building 101 - full moon rituals
This workshop is designed as a gentle pause—no prior ritual or ceramics experience required.
Join us for a slow, intentional creative experience centered around the full moon. This hand-building workshop blends foundational clay techniques with simple ritual practices, inviting reflection, presence, and creative exploration through making.
Together, we’ll begin with a brief full moon intention-setting ritual to ground the group and set the tone for the session. Then you will be guided through the basics of clay hand-building, offering thoughtful instruction and space to work intuitively. Light snacks and sips will be provided, along with a special discount to shop directly from the Spring + Vine studio.
No experience necessary—beginners are warmly encouraged.
WHEN: Saturday, May 30, 10AM-1PM
WHERE: Spring + Vine Studio, Ashland, OR
(Address provided upon booking)
Class size is limited to 8 participants to ensure a relaxed, supportive, and hands-on experience.
What’s Included
During this 3-hour workshop, we’ll cover:
A brief full moon ritual focused on grounding, reflection, and intention-setting
An introduction to essential hand-building techniques, including pinching and simple slab work
Guided instruction to create one incense dish and one small pinch pot cup
Time to personalize your pieces with texture and subtle surface details
An array of colored underglaze pigments to make your work come to life
All materials are included. Your pieces will be dried, fired, and finished with care, and will be available for local pickup or shipping within 3–4 weeks of the workshop date.
You’ll leave with functional ceramic pieces and a renewed sense of connection—to your hands, your creative practice, and the rhythms of the lunar cycle.
