Beginner-Friendly Pottery Retreats: Starting Your Journey at Aura Pottery

Are you a beginner eager to dive into the world of pottery? At Aura Pottery, we offer the perfect pottery retreat to start your creative journey. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway or a longer immersion, our 2-week residential retreat is designed to help you get hands-on with both hand-building and wheel-throwing techniques.

Introduction to Pottery:

On our beginner retreat, you’ll be introduced to the fundamentals of pottery—wedging, working with stoneware clay, and the essential pottery vocabulary. Whether you’re shaping simple bowls, mugs, or vases, you’ll quickly find yourself exploring the endless possibilities of this tactile art form.

Hands-on Learning:

Our instructors provide expert guidance in wheel-throwing and hand-building. With access to professional tools and a spacious studio, you’ll be encouraged to experiment and perfect your techniques. By the end of the retreat, you’ll have created a collection of pots, mugs, and decorative pieces, all while building confidence in your craft.

Relax, Create, and Connect:

While pottery will be your main focus, our beautiful farm setting ensures plenty of opportunities for relaxation. Enjoy our farm-to-table meals, explore the surrounding nature, and connect with fellow potters—all while honing your skills.
