Calm with Clay Workshops - Let's make a Cosmic Owl
Welcome to the Cosmic Owl Clay Workshop. This day we’ll be creating owls from clay — a symbol of wisdom, intuition, and deeper connection. The Cosmic Owl reminds us of the vastness of the universe and the value of looking inward.
This is more than a creative activity; it’s a chance to slow down, make with your hands, and enjoy a calm, welcoming space. As we shape our owls, we also make room for connection — with ourselves and those around us. There’s no right or wrong here — just space to create, relax, and be present.
I also encourage you to adapt your owl to your personal vision and I will be helping you all to create your own individual piece. All materials and firing are included.
There are only 10 spaces so please book early to avoid disappointment.
