Discover the tactical material of clay and be part of our ever evolving creative community here at Kite Studios, join us on an evening of therapeutic play with clay, wellbeing, and socializing. We encourage participants to focus more on the process, particularly if you are new to the wheel, and practice the art of letting go. This includes a cup of tea and mindful start to prepare for centering at the wheel , demonstrations and cleaning up.
Our approach is about sustainability and environmentally friendly practices and processes, and therefore we encourage recycling of clay.
