Workshop Details

Introducing Clay Meets Calm - a new series of creative mini retreats bringing together the mindful movement of Yogi Valley and the simple joy of pottery with Chisel.

Designed to help you slow down, switch off and enjoy a little time for yourself, this relaxed Sunday morning experience combines two wonderfully mindful practices: yoga and working with clay.

We'll begin with an hour of yoga led by Luke from Yogi Valley, giving you the chance to stretch, unwind and ease into your Sunday morning.

Then, we'll take a little break to enjoy coffee and homemade cake before getting creative with Chisel Pottery.

During your hour-long pottery workshop, you'll learn the simple pinch-pot technique to hand-build your very own ceramic bowl or drinking cup. No experience needed - just a willingness to get your hands a little muddy!

Whether you're coming along with a friend or treating yourself to a morning of me-time, Clay Meets Calm is all about finding a little calm in the everyday, trying something new and enjoying the process.

What Happens Afterwards?

Your handmade pottery will be carefully dried, glazed and fired by the Chisel team, ready for you to collect approximately 4–6 weeks after the workshop.

No yoga or pottery experience is needed. Complete beginners are very welcome.

Spaces are limited to just 20 per session, so book your spot and join us for a Sunday morning well spent.
