Clay After Dark: Ceramics Uncensored

My Intimacy Code presents;

CLAY AFTER DARK: CERAMICS UNCENSORED

Come get your hands dirty.
Make something beautiful_, functional, or something inappropriate that might sit in your bedside table rather than on the mantelpiece!_
_A small, intimate ceramics workshop exploring touch, creativity and pleasure. C_uriosity is encouraged, and creative censorship is quietly left at the door.

Hosted by Juni Ross, a somatic intimacy coach and sexologist. Using clay, she helps you connect with your subconscious sacral creative energy and allows you to unleash it onto the clay, however you deem fit.

Clay turns out to be an excellent teacher for your pent-up expression.

In a session, we will lean into sensory exercises designed to get you out of your head and back into touch, where instinct, creativity, and good ideas tend to live.

Think of it as a brief, intimate decoding of your creative subconscious.

No pottery or sexology experience needed. Just curiosity.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS

THE ONE-NIGHT AFFAIR £75
One night. No commitment. No judgement. You come, you clay, you leave with something fired, glazed, and entirely your own business.
All finished clay pieces will be fired and can be collected after 6-8 weeks. ( Postage available at an extra charge).

FOUR WEEK FULL MONTY £270
For people who want complete control over their creation. Four Wednesdays to make it, refine it, and get it exactly right. Smooth where it needs to be smooth. Sharp where it needs an edge. You glaze and finish it yourself in week four because how it ends is your call, not ours.

**FOUR WEEK FULL MONTY: BRING A CLAY-MATE: £500 for two **
Four weeks, two of you. Split the cost. Save a bit of cash. Share the journey.
All finished clay pieces will be fired and can be collected within 1-3 weeks. ( Postage available at an extra charge).

THE CIVILISED CHEESE & WINE ADD-ON: £20 per session
We’ve partnered with Wild Fig, Bath’s artisan grazing specialists, offering a moorish boat of artisan cheeses, charcuterie, fruit, and crackers, plus a glass of wine or a healthy soft drink waiting at your spot before you touch a single thing. Consider it foreplay.
(If booking the Four Week Full Monty, you can add it on weekly)

**What actually happens during **

THE FOUR WEEK FULL MONTY?

WEEK ONE
You get your hands into clay for the first time and discover that your hands have opinions your brain was not consulted on. We work through hand-building techniques while the somatic layer does its thing quietly underneath. You leave with the beginning of something and a slightly altered relationship with your own nervous system.

WEEKS TWO AND THREE
More shared somatic intimacy touch techniques and ideas to help you craft in the workshop and graft in the bedroom ;)
The real making sessions. Your vision, your object, your rules. We refine, we problem solve, we make it exactly what it wants to be. Smooth where it needs to be smooth. Structured where it needs structure. Your host circulates, asks the right questions, and keeps her opinions about what you are making entirely to herself.

WEEK FOUR
Your pieces would have had their first bisque firing and will be ready for you to glaze and finish off yourself (pun intended). This session will be about colour, and surface finish. The pieces will then go for their final firing, and collection will be in 2-3 weeks. (Postage available at an extra charge).
