Begin at the centre.
It starts with a lump of clay.
01 — Open
Open it out.
Thumbs to the centre — the form breathes wide.
02 — Pull
Pull it up.
Wet hands, steady pressure, and the wall climbs.
03 — Form
Bring it in.
Collar the neck, flare the lip. A vessel.
04 — Paint
Paint it on.
A motif around the belly — by hand, before the glaze.
05 — Finish
Glaze. Fire.
Celadon over the brushwork, then into the kiln.
Come as you are. Leave with clay in your hair.
Strangers on day one, regulars by week three — making a mess at the next wheel over, cheering on the wonky ones, your mug sharing a kiln shelf with a stranger's bowl. It's less a class, more a table everyone's welcome at.
And here, we're all kind — to the clay, to each other, and to ourselves.
Just some community drip.
Your first lump of clay is waiting.
