Workshop: Play with Clay at Flying Books at Neverland
Join me for another ceramic hand-building event at Flying Books at Neverland on Queen Street West in Toronto! Included in the event is a $20 book voucher and a drink ticket. You’ll learn both coil and pinch techniques to create one or two pieces of your choice. Example pieces will be on display for inspiration, with options including mugs, small bowls, plates — or anything else you can imagine!
Once your pieces are built, they’ll dry under a fan before we return to paint them using a wide selection of underglazes. After the event, I’ll dip your creations in a clear glaze and fire them twice. If preferred, you can choose to have me glaze your work in a solid colour. Finished pieces will be ready for pick-up at my Sorauren Ave studio a few weeks later.
Event Location: 371 Queen St W, Toronto, ON
Date + Time: Wednesday, August 27 | 7:00 - 9:30ish
About Flying Books:
Flying Books is a bookstore, book publisher, and writing school. They provide rotating selections of fiction, memoirs, graphic novels, science, history, poetry, and children’s books — always choosily chosen. Why the name? To read is to take flight. Great writing transports you to other places, takes risks, breaks down barriers, and enlivens your world. That’s Amelia Earhart in their logo, drawn by artist and writer Leanne Shapton. When Earhart witnessed the air show at the 1917 Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto, she was inspired by the possibilities of aviation, a “marvel of modern invention,” as she called it. Flying Books takes her as its inspiration, opening on the first day of the 2015 CNE, and launching marvels of written invention one flight at a time.
About Neverland:
Neverland is a hybrid bookstore, café and wine bar, formerly Peter Pantry. Located next door to Peter Pan Bistro. Neverland stocks whole Hatch Coffee Roasters beans for purchase and Sloane whole-leaf tea. There’s a small menu of warm drinks to cradle as you read, priced around $5, and four house cocktails to sip. You can browse their rotating wine list, local beer, sake, cider and canned cocktail selection, too. Every work on display in Neverland has been hand-picked by Flying Books founder Martha Sharpe, and ranges from non-fiction and children’s stories to poetry and Canadian cookbooks.

While the workshop is designed to be tidy, I recommend wearing clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy.
