Mango in a Pot is teaming up with Maybe Studio for a special edition workshop.

Maybe Studio is a female-founded, sustainable brand that makes hand-dipped beeswax candles. They use only natural materials, even dying their candles with homemade plant dyes. Alina from Maybe Studio will lead the first half of the workshop, where you will get a chance to make your own hand-dipped taper candle. Once you’ve made your candle, its time to build a ceramic candle holder! The second half of the session will be a handbuilding ceramic workshop, where you can get creative with clay, and mold your very own candle-holder.

After careful reflection, the studio’s workshop offerings are going to change. Moving away from 1-time wheel throwing workshops towards regular commitment will allow for deeper learning and a more constructive studio environment.

As someone who’s ceramics craft has just recently taken an external studio space, I can agree with those who prefer to practice their creativity in the comfort of their own home. I certainly preferred my living room over a public space because I had more room to be raw, vulnerable and most importantly make mistakes. This is how the idea of the clay club was born. A way to bring the healing power of ceramics to your home, with everything you need.

For anyone who’s dabbled in the art of ceramics, it quickly becomes quite clear how much can go wrong at any stage. The looming idea that your work of art can be ruined at any moment makes ceramics the perfect art form for those looking to practice non-attachment.

After 4 months of owning and operating a ceramic studio in Amsterdam, I open up about challenges, new learnings and my vision going forward.

Depending on how you look at it, the clay creation process can be excruciatingly drawn-out, or a beautiful slow-journey of learning non-attachment. However you see it, there’s some parts of the process that cannot be overlooked. Keep reading to get a glimpse into the steps of ceramic creation.

Yoni steaming as an ancient practice to restore health and balance your feminine cycles, ease the transition through life phases, unlock the intimate magic of your womb, and release toxic emotions such as stress, tension, and stagnation. In this article I explain how to Yoni steam and the benefits it brings to the body and spirit.

In honor of International Women’s Day (March 8th), Mango in a Pot is hosting a Yoni-art workshop, where you will be led through the creation of clay yonis and then given the opportunity to create three-dimensional yoni art. We will look at this process as an act of self love and divine worship, leaving time for reflection and connection.

Whether you’re in need of some creative alone time or looking for a cute claydate, dropping in for studio time might be just what you need.

Whether you take part in Valentine’s day celebrations or not, you have to admit that it’s quite nice to have a day of the year entirely dedicated to love. This year, I’m opening up my studio for a special edition Valentine’s workshop with a focus on the healing powers of love.
