Private Workshops
The Claybenders began in Istanbul as a studio I founded to teach and create, but soon became something much bigger; a community, a family, and a place of shared growth. I never wanted to let go of the name, because it holds the spirit of belonging and collaboration that shaped my practice.
After moving to Canada, I continued offering workshops and received strong interest. This showed me that The Claybenders still has a place in my life but just in a new geography.
01
Now in Calgary, I hope to build a new community of diverse participants, offering workshops where people can learn, connect, and feel a sense of belonging through clay.
02
In these workshops, you’ll join a fun and engaging space to explore your creativity with clay.
03
All materials are provided—clay, tools, brushes, and glazes—and I guide you with hands-on demonstrations so you can follow along step by step.
04
You’ll create your piece during the session, and I’ll handle firing, delivering the finished work about one month later. These workshops are perfect for both beginners and experienced makers!
