I recently completed Sharla’s 5-week pottery workshop at Truly Wellness and it was such a grounding, therapeutic experience. From the moment you arrive, Sharla creates a gentle, warm & deeply welcome
Clay, Play & Connect /Tuesdays
Description
Clay, Create & Connect
Pottery for Wellbeing
Tuesdays 9.30am – 12.30pm
5-Week Hand-Building Pottery Journey
Slow down. Create. Connect.
What if three hours each Friday became the most nourishing part of your week?
Imagine arriving at a peaceful studio surrounded by nature, taking a deep breath, enjoying a cup of chai, and leaving the outside world behind.
Your hands sink into soft clay.
Your mind becomes quiet.
Conversation flows naturally.
There is no pressure to be perfect.
No expectations.
No experience required.
Just permission to slow down, create and reconnect.
Working with clay has been shown to encourage mindfulness, reduce stress and create a sense of calm. As your hands become busy, your nervous system has the opportunity to soften, allowing creativity to replace overthinking.
This is more than learning pottery.
It’s about making space for yourself.
Over five inspiring weeks you’ll learn:
Pinch Pot Building
Coiling
Slab Construction
Surface Texture & Decoration
Joining & Finishing Techniques
Underglazes & Glazing
Create beautiful functional and decorative pieces you’ll treasure for years.
Each week gently builds on the last, so you’ll leave with both new skills and growing confidence.
This course is perfect if you:
✔ You’ve always wanted to try pottery.
✔ You’re looking for time just for yourself.
✔ You’d like to slow down and feel calmer.
✔ You enjoy being creative.
✔ You’d love to meet like-minded people.
✔ You think you’re “not artistic.”
✔ You’re looking for something meaningful instead of another busy week.

Come on your own
Many people arrive not knowing anyone.
By the end of five weeks, it’s common for strangers to become friends.

Our Philosophy
Create with curiosity, not criticism.
There are no mistakes in clay—only opportunities to learn, play and discover.
Every piece tells a story.
Every person belongs.

Testimonials
I recently attended Sharla’s 5 week clay class, it was such a relaxed beautiful experience, which I’m truly grateful for. Everybody was really welcoming. It was so lovely to see women
I hadn’t touched clay since school and was so nervous about coming. Within minutes I felt completely at ease. These Friday mornings became the highlight of my week.
This is so much more than a pottery class. I left every session feeling calmer, inspired and proud of what I’d created.
