This one-day, 'double' workshop is suitable for complete beginners and those with some experience

Details
In this new workshop, we bring you the opportunity to indulge in a day of self care for your mind and body. The morning will start with yoga, relaxation and meditation followed by a specially designed healthy lunch, packed with super foods. The afternoon session will be for craft and creativity.

The morning yoga session
  • 10am - 12pm
Yvonne's yoga teaching style combines the concepts of self-care with artistic and psychological safety, so that you can benefit from the same calming influence it will bring to your mind, as well as strength to your body. Her preferred style of teaching is Hatha Flow, a moderate and traditional yoga style that includes Prana Yama breathing techniques, an opening warm-up followed by a series of standing, seated and lying down postures and balances. You will close the practice with Savasana relaxation, which includes a short shoulder massage with Mandarin essential oil – a perfect end to a full body routine!  
 
Provided lunch 
  • 12 - 12.30pm

The afternoon pottery session
  • 12.30 - 4pm (inc. half hour break for afternoon tea!)
There's something about working with clay that is very calming and mindful, and Debbie hopes to build upon the morning session bringing creativity into form.  During the afternoon session you will be creating with Debbie's guidance and support,  2 small, lidded pots, maybe more, using a combination of pinching and coiling techniques. 

Skills and techniques to be taught and used:-
  • Pinching
  • Coiling
  • Forming lids
  • Joining seams
 
The pinch pots will be left with the tutor for firing and final transparent glaze application and will be available for collection from Ardington School of Crafts approx 3-4 weeks following the class. Pieces can also be posted directly to students for additional cost. 

​Materials
Materials & firings are not included in the booking fee. The approximate costs are for 2 small lidded pots.  Additional pots will attract an extra charge for materials and firing. All materials will be provided by the tutor. The approximate cost of these will be £30 (this includes the firings) payable to the tutor during the workshop – cash or cards welcome.

For the morning session
  • Yoga mat and any blocks / bolsters etc that you may have
  • Wear loose fitting or yoga clothing throughout
  • Soft Blanket
