Sat 13th Sept 1-3pm - Handbuild Your Own Miniature House in Porcelain

“Tiny Houses in Porcelain” – Handbuild Your Own Miniature House

Join ceramic artist Sandra Noa for a calm and creative afternoon making your own porcelain house. This small sculpture can be purely decorative or serve as a gentle lantern when lit from within.

You will be introduced to the unique qualities of porcelain clay—its smoothness, strength, and luminous beauty. Sandra will guide you step by step through shaping, cutting, and joining to create a simple house form with windows, doors, or even a heart-shaped cutout.

You will learn how to
– Handbuild one unique house form from porcelain
– Cut and shape window and door openings for light to pass through
– Work with porcelain in its raw unglazed state to let its natural finish shine
– Embrace a mindful making process that celebrates simplicity and small details

Your piece will be entirely your own, shaped by your ideas—whether you prefer a whimsical cottage, a tall townhouse, or a minimalist cabin.

This workshop is suitable for all levels including beginners. All materials and kiln firing are included.

✨ A gentle introduction to porcelain and a celebration of miniature architecture

Meet Sandra....

Sandra Noa is a Brisbane-based ceramic artist working from her studio in Capalaba, Queensland. Her practice centres on creating refined, contemplative pieces in porcelain—celebrated for its delicacy, strength, and quiet beauty.

Working slowly and intentionally, Sandra handcrafts each piece as a meditation on form, light, and texture. She chooses not to glaze her work, allowing the natural surface of porcelain to shine—highlighting its purity, softness, and translucency. Her forms explore the tension between fragility and resilience, inviting stillness and reflection.

With a lifelong appreciation of the arts and a deep respect for traditional techniques, Sandra allows the unique qualities of porcelain to guide her process. Her workshops encourage space for slow making and mindful connection through clay, allowing participants to tune into their creativity, embrace the process, and find beauty in simplicity.

Join her to learn the techniques of working with porcelain and to experience the quiet joy of creating with intention and presence.
