Welcome to your private pottery workshop — a hands-on, creative experience that inspires connection through clay. Whether it’s a team-building event, a birthday, or simply gathering friends, I’ll guide you through a two-hour session of making with clay.
You’ll learn simple hand-building techniques — coil and pinch — suitable for all ages and experience levels. Each participant will create their own vessel while learning about my practice.
I provide all materials and supplies. Once the work is glazed and fired, pieces can be picked up from my studio. Light snacks and cocktails are also included.

Sado Meets Wabi Sabi — The Way of Tea and the Way of Clay
Join us for an evening where ritual meets making.
Experience the quiet beauty of Sado — the Japanese Way of Tea — led by Naoko Sembokuya, followed by a hands-on session shaping your own matcha bowl with Andrea Copp.
An exploration of stillness, balance, and the handmade life.
This intimate workshop will be held in my North Vancouver studio — a space for slowing down, creating, and connecting.
The evening includes a short talk on the Japanese tea bowl tradition, sample bowls for inspiration, a casual tea ceremony, and a guided making session.
