We run 6 regular ceramic classes a week. Depending on the class, they cater for beginners and advanced students.
Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am – 1 pm

Saturday morning from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm
Saturday afternoon from 2 pm – 5 pm
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.
Most classes are ongoing but on Saturdays, every 8 weeks we have a limited amount 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. 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 will be offering once-off Saturday sessions for people who want a clay experience. This is 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.
There are limited spaces in all these classes generally.

We will be hosting regular workshops covering a wide range of topics. If you would like to be added to our workshop WhatsApp group to receive notifications about upcoming workshops please send Kim a WhatsApp message to +27 83 377 7499.
Working with our hands has many fabulous advantages and is a very profound thing. Clay heals. It is a Balm. It is Magical and takes us to far-away places inside ourselves. Come and explore. You are welcome to visit and see what we do.
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.

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 also offer paper and textile programs regularly during the year. We will post the workshop program as soon as it becomes available.
