Workshop details

Create with nature! Learn clay handbuilding skills while creating your own small dishes, pressed with flowers. In this 2 hour class Kaila will teach you clay handbuilding techniques that will open up the wonderful world of ceramics to you. You’ll be making an array of small dishes and bowls that can be used as jewellery holders, salt dishes, home decoration and more! Then you’ll be learning how to press flowers and plants into your clay pieces. You can choose to leave the flowers in the clay, as they will fire off in the kiln, or remove them and glaze your piece. Student pieces are bisqued, clear glazed and fired after class and returned back in 6 weeks.

What you’ll get:

  • Ceramic dishes made by you, and fired by Kaila after class

  • A selection of flowers to press into your clay

  • A relaxing few hours of making!

What you’ll learn:

Clay handbuilding skills such as slab forming, pinching and joining. These are the starter skills to working with clay, and will enable you to make bowls, cups, planters and dishes at home with minimal equipment required.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
