An exploration of our creativity by exploring the exquisite properties of Clay
Spring is a season of renewal, and a new opportunity to embark on a new
Creative journey and conversation with one’s self.
If you feel inclined to explore your creativity, and using clay as the medium
Then maybe this is for you.
We will be starting this set of creative sessions on
Friday, the 11th of September, from 9.30 – 12.30
The cost of the course is: R6400
There are limited spaces available, as this is a small intimate group.
Should you wish to come to a few of these sessions and not all of them, the cost per session is R900.
We will explore different hand-working techniques, with different types of clay.
You will leave this journey, with an insightful sense of yourself, and how you Interact with Clay.
The fee includes tuition, different types of clay and firing.
What’s app Kim Sacks for further details and booking.
We run 5 regular ceramic classes a week. Depending on the class, they cater for beginners and advanced students.
Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am – 1 pm
Wednesday from 4 pm – 7 pm
Saturday morning from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Saturday afternoon from 2 pm – 5 pm
Most classes are ongoing, but on Saturdays, every 8 weeks, we have a limited number of places for students who want to try their hand and not commit for longer. I strongly suggest that 8 classes are a minimum for someone to see if they can get fully involved in working with clay.
We will be having an irregular morning session for people who want a once-off clay experience. An introduction to clay. It will not be orientated to necessarily making something specific, as opposed to “getting one’s hands and spirit into the feel of clay and emersion into one’s creative inner space ”.This experience is aimed at giving one a sense of what clay’s possibilities are. A once-off “experience” is exactly that, just getting the feeling. It does not allow for more involvement. A more insightful experience would be the 8-week course. From there one could decide to take it further and join an ongoing series of classes.

We also have a casual class on the last Friday of each month. This is a gentle clay experience. We need to have an adequate amount of bookings to make the class viable. You are welcome to book a spot. This class costs R900 for 3 hours and does not include the firing of the pieces you make. That cost would be extra.
There are limited spaces in all these classes generally.
The chance of calling in the morning to book a space for that day is not a realistic possibility.
If you are visiting Johannesburg for a few days and would like to join a class, contact Kim timeously, before you are planning to arrive in the country and she can check if there is space available.
We welcome visits from the public by appointment. It is not advisable to just arrive, often lectures, discussions, or demonstrations are taking place, which is not always conducive to people popping in.
WhatsApp (+27 83 377 7499) or email Kim (kim@kimsacks.com) for more info or to make an appointment.
We will be hosting regular workshops covering a wide range of topics, from clay and fiber, to paper. If you would like to be added to our workshop WhatsApp group to receive notifications about upcoming workshops please send Kim a WhatsApp message on +27 83 377 7499.
We will post the workshop program as soon as it becomes available. Posters are regularly posted on our Instagram:
