Ceramics from the inside.

The experience begins by watching the material: its differences, its possibilities, and the way it answers each gesture.

We work with our hands, explore different techniques, and learn to recognise the timings of clay — understanding that every part of the process shapes the next.

As we go, the making turns more intuitive, and the material begins to reveal a language of its own.

## Table & nature

**Wine, a table, and clay** — The night begins at a shared table, with wine and something to pick at together; the conversation that starts there carries on once hands are in the clay. (As served — 2 October 2026)

## Who hosts this

- Gabriela Campos — Co-founder · Ceramicist

> Ceramics is learning to watch, to wait, and to accept that not everything can be controlled. The material, the time and the fire all take part in the result, and so no two processes are the same.
