This retreat is for anyone who wants a break from the daily routine, enjoys being close to nature and is curious about making pottery. Making by hand quiets mental noise, builds patience and gives you the satisfaction of creating something you can hold. Following a gentle rhythm, in a green setting, you return feeling clearer, more grounded and more connected to yourself.

Hand building – Pinching, coiling and slab techniques
Surface decoration – Texture, carving and colour
Ceramics basics – how clay, glaze and kiln work together
Check in before 2 PM, rest, visit the studio and meet your fellow guests. Your first pottery session runs from 3 PM to 5:30 PM.
