Pottery weekends and retreats!

(Available year round)

 

My hope with these weekends and retreats is to establish and renew, in my own way, the spirit of Clonmacnoise (an inspired concept form one of Ireland’s earliest Celtic monasteries). My goal is to offer my workshop to people in search of ancient Celtic knowledge as well as ancient pottery and Celtic Art. More importantly, I offer a time away to those seeking spiritual peacefulness.

 

Here, seekers will learn and make an ancient type of pottery while working within a kind of “monastic” simplicity.  There are no frills in my pottery shop. Instead, I offer the real thing: working with pure natural clay in order to provide a great back to basics hands-on experience.

1. Introduction to primitive pottery Weekend Workshop:

In this weekend away, you will be taught the techniques involved in making primitive pottery, and you learn the ancient art of pinching your own clay bowls. This is meant to be a very relaxing and meditative weekend.

2. Celtic art Weekend Workshop: (451.00$)

 

You will be initiated to majestic and mystical Celtic Art.  You will learn about one of the finest religious manuscripts: the Book of Kells. You will learn how to draw and paint dazzling Celtic spirals and the famous interlacing Celtic knots. No doubt that this workshop will inspire you!

3. Ancient Pottery Retreat: (1540.00$)

In this week long retreat, you will be plunged into a more serious workshop. Keeping with the spirit of primitive pottery, you will learn to make your own clay out of natural materials found in nature.  You will also be initiated to the potter’s wheel and be submerged into the world of a potter.

4. Pottery and Celtic Spiritual Retreat: (1580.00$)

This retreat is for those who are seeking physical, emotional and spiritual renewal by enjoying creation, silence, meditation and fellowship.  As a potter, I have discovered that pottery is a great medium and way to reflect on your life’s directions and priorities, or to consider major decisions in an unpressured way.  During your stay, you will learn many pottery techniques as well as how to make pottery out of natural clay.  You will also be initiated to the potter’s wheel.

This retreat was created to give you time away from the usual daily demands of life, and time for rest and reflection.  As within all of my retreats and weekend workshops, you will have time to meditate, pray and rebalance your mind, body and soul.
