Workshop Details

Learn to hand build a charming little kitty sculpture that embodies hygge: the Danish concept of being cozy and enjoying life's simple pleasures.

After the sculpting step, we will bisque your clay in our kiln once it's dried. Book your return visit for glazing (adding colour) and watch your Hygge Kitty's purr-sonality come alive! The best part is that these little cuties are 100% customizable, so you can get creative with features and colours. 🐱

Timeline

1. Build & Sculpt: 2 hours of instruction. Create using our high fire clay and we will dry and fire the clay in the kiln.

2. Glaze: Return to the studio to add the beautiful glazes. Book at least one week after your build date. We recommend booking 1.5-2 hours, depending on the amount of detail :)

3. Pick Up: We will fire it again in the kiln. In approximately 10 days after glazing, it’ll be ready for pick up.

Stoneware Clay 101

The most important thing to remember when working with clay is to relax and enjoy the process of making hand made art! Clay is like magical mud for creating fantastic pottery and cool ceramics. First, you shape it into whatever you want. Then it has to air dry and go into a super-hot oven called a kiln, where it gets fired at really high temperatures (around 1,200°C!). After it’s been fired once it’s ready for the colourful and clear glazes! Finally. it gets fired again to cure the glazes to the clay. 

"Hygge is about embracing the imperfect and finding beauty in simplicity."
