WORKSHOP

A Ceramic + Floral Experience 
by Okey Doecke at Sparrow Lane + Sunset Meadows Flower Farm

Create your own coil-built vase, finished in a soft white satin glaze. Each piece is made personal with hand-drawn hearts, turning it into a true heirloom keepsake, or you can opt for an Okey Doecke signature heart. 

This is a two-part experience designed to feel slow and a little bit magical. We’re curating a space to gather with your favourite people, make something meaningful with your hands, and step away from the noise of everyday life. You’ll create a beautiful, timeless, organic piece suitable for all skill levels, even those who don’t consider themselves “artistic.”

After firing, join us Sunday August 23 at Sunset Meadows Flower Farm for a short guided floral styling experience using seasonal blooms. You’ll receive a relaxed demonstration on how to assemble your arrangement, then choose your own flowers to bring your vase to life.

Additional Notes

- Cash bar available at Sparrow Lane for additional drinks

- Small cracks may occur as part of handmade ceramics; these are usually still water tight In the rare case of larger cracks so its not water tight or if a piece is accidentally broken, you may opt to remake your piece at your leisure, or as a last resort, I can wheel throw a replacement for you.

- For hand-drawn hearts, the preferred placement is 1–3 hearts per side of the vase. One heart often looks the most balanced. You may also choose to use the Okey Doecke signature heart instead if preferred

- Vase designs will focus on shape, texture, and surface details only. To ensure pieces travel safely through transport and firing, designs will be created without added attachments.


Please note:
- Sessions may overlap ever so lightly creating a shared, lively atmosphere. 
- No refunds will be issued if you are unable to attend the workshop. Your spot may be transferred by you to another guest, or I may be able to assist in finding someone from a waitlist if available.
- if we dont fill all the spots we may combine into one group

Media + Care Consent
