Sun 17th May 1:30pm - 3:30pm May - Redlands Coast AdventureFest - Meri Mila Whale Handbuilding Pottery Workshop

Meri Mila Whale Handbuilding Pottery Workshop

Part of Redlands Coast AdventureFest

Sunday 17 May • 1:30–3:30pm
Carys Martin Ceramics Studio, Cleveland • Redlands Coast

In preparation for the annual whale migration along the Redlands Coast, join Straddie based ceramic artist Meri Mila for a special handbuilding pottery workshop inspired by the gentle giants of the ocean.

This workshop draws on Meri Mila’s deep connection to sea, story, and place. Guided by the rhythms of the coast and the presence of migrating whales, participants will create a ceramic piece inspired by whale forms, movement, and symbolism - exploring themes of journey, protection, and connection to Country and ocean.

Using accessible handbuilding techniques, Meri will guide you step by step to shape and decorate your piece. No prior pottery experience is needed - this workshop is suitable for beginners and those wanting to explore clay in a relaxed, meaningful way.

Held as part of Redlands Coast AdventureFest, this session offers a slower kind of adventure - one that invites you to connect with the natural cycles of the region through creativity, storytelling, and making by hand.

All materials, firings, and glazes are included. Finished pieces will be fired and ready for collection at a later date.

✨ A beautiful way to honour the whales, the season, and the Redlands Coast through clay.
