"The Pottery Package"

Weekend Retreat Experience



Immerse yourself in clay for a truly special weekend experience under the exclusive guidance of

Potter Extraordinaire - Belinda Paton.

If you’ve always wanted to explore pottery without the stress of firing and glazing your own work, this weekend retreat is designed for you. Alongside delectable food, a beautiful ambient atmosphere, and five-star accommodation, you’ll learn a wide range of pottery techniques, tips, and creative processes while crafting unique ceramic pieces you’ll treasure for years to come.

The weekend begins on Friday evening with a relaxed Cocktails & Clay session — the perfect way to unwind, loosen up, and enjoy the tactile pleasure of working with clay. Afterwards, indulge in a sumptuous dinner before soaking in the spa or gathering by the outdoor firepit to watch the sunset.

Saturday is a full day of immersive clay workshops where you’ll create a variety of stunning one-of-a-kind pieces. In the evening, enjoy another beautifully catered feast, bubbles at happy hour, and time to relax in the spa or sit peacefully beneath the stars beside the firepit.

Most of the produce served throughout the weekend is organically and lovingly grown on the property in our extensive vegetable gardens.

On Sunday, we ease into our Sacred Shrines & Temples Workshop, creating meaningful pieces and selecting embellishments to be added after firing. Following lunch, there will be time to complete your creations, admire everyone’s work, and choose the glaze colors for your finished ceramics.

All pieces created during the weekend will be professionally fired twice, glazed in your chosen colors, and carefully couriered to your home.

A nourishing and creative weekend of indulgence, connection, and grounding through the earthly magic of clay.

This package includes all meals and two nights’ twin-share accommodation in our magical 5 star lodge.
