Mud by Moonlight - Monthly Handbuilding Sessions

Mud by Moonlight is a monthly, one-off handbuilding session that takes place on or near each full moon. Each gathering has its own clay project inspired by the energy and symbolism of that particular moon. Expect slow, meditative making and a little bit of quiet creative witchiness.

Sessions run for 2.5 hours (8pm-10.30pm), are completely beginner-friendly, and all pieces are glazed and fired in-house, ready for pickup in 4–5 weeks.

Classes can be experienced as a single class or recurring.

All Mud by Moonlight sessions are BYO-friendly

July 31 — Ice Moon

This moon settles the cold fully into the season and symbolises endurance, inner strength, and protection. Students will hand build sculptural winter shrines or protective forms carved with grounding, steady textures.

August 28 — Kangaroo Moon

As joeys begin to emerge from their pouches, this moon symbolises growth, curiosity, and stepping into newness. Students will make small lidded treasure boxes — pieces that echo this sense of emerging, exploring, and gently expanding into spring.

September 25 — Fish Moon (Supermoon)

This moon aligns with rising humidity, fishing seasons, and renewal, symbolising movement and abundance. Coinciding with a supermoon, students will create a one-person place setting for the warmer months ahead, decorating their pieces with layered surface techniques — mishima, sgraffito, slip trailing — to reflect this fullness.

October 30 — Pink Moon

This moon is about blooming, sprouting, and fresh beginnings. Students will hand build planters or trays pressed with spring botanicals — pieces to welcome growth back into their homes.

November 27 — Flower Moon

With plants in full bloom, this moon represents flourishing, beauty, and transition. Students will make paired bud vases exploring themes of arrival, release, and the cycles of nature.

December 18 — Strawberry Moon

This moon symbolises early-summer ripeness, brightness, and reflection at the year’s end. Students will create story pots — vessels decorated with narrative marks, symbols, or small sculptural additions that tell a personal story from the year or set an intention for the one ahead.
