Workshops
The Guild offers a variety of hands-on workshops throughout the year, giving members the chance to explore new skills and build on their techniques. Open to all skill levels, these workshops cover everything from wheel throwing and hand-building to surface decoration and glaze making. We’ve welcomed both experienced Guild members and well-known professional potters from across Canada and beyond as instructors. Workshop formats range from short, practical sessions at member meetings to immersive weekend workshops that dive deeper into specific areas of the craft.
Workshop announcements are made through our social media and member forum (GuildForum).
