Feeling grateful and a little amazed that my pieces “Relics of the Deep” have been selected as finalists for Waiclay 2025. It’s an honour to be included alongside so many artists whose work I admire.

Throughout the course, you'll master fundamental techniques such as clay centring, shaping, and trimming. You'll have the opportunity to create various functional and decorative pieces, all while gaining valuable hands-on experience in the craft.

Join us and transform raw clay into beautifully crafted pieces of art.
