"I needed a creative outlet, and an experience to keep me grounded and present. I needed to invest in an experience vs a thing, and an experience just for me. Dani's workshop was perfect. It was intimate, educational and creatively freeing. Thank you Dani for providing such a warm space to express ourselves and learn more about your craft." - Lee-Ann

"What a magical workshop this was! Beautiful venue, meeting new people, learning new skills and delicious food. It felt like a holiday. Highly recommend!" - Nell-Mari
"I had the absolute pleasure of taking part in one of Calico Ceramics workshops. To say it was the one of my all time favourite experiences is an understatement. Dani is incredible, talented and just the most divine host and person. The venue and delicious food was perfect! I loved spending time with one of my best friends creating beautiful pieces as well as meeting such a lovely group of people. There is something so therapeutic about working with clay and Dani’s gentle and knowledgeable guidance meant that not only did we leave with a new appreciation for the art, but with our own beautiful creations, which will be treasured forever. Thank you Dani & Tim for everything. If I could, I would take part in every single workshop. X" - Lauren

I wanted something cute to rest my paintbrushes on when I’m creating and the two wildling mini blobs I had made, fit the bill perfectly. I’m very happy with them and the service I received. Tanya
I absolutely adore the Moxie mug. The fact that it has no handle makes it feel super comforting when you are holding a drink, especially a hot one. It has become a household favourite. To the extent that I have to order more!
I am so happy with my hippo, elephant and rhino wildlings!! It turned out more beautiful than i could imagine. It adds a unique and special touch to our safari-themed nursery.
I ordered a mini Blob of my friends dog, Takkie.
The delivery was super fast!
I received the best service and my friend absolutely loved her own mini dog! Thank you for making her birthday special🥰
I'm in love with my llama. It is so cute and exactly what I wanted. Danielle was lovely to work with and the whole process was easy peasy. Ill defs be ordering again.
I was following Calico ceramics on Instagram and saw the post about this one day workshop. I decided to attend it hoping to learn the basics of making my own.
The workshop was a pure delight. The venue, the attention to details, the beautiful set up on the working tables ! Everything from A-Z.
The breakfast (yes!) & the lunch (again yes!) were delicious and added a warm atmosphere of sharing a wonderful moment witht the other people attending.
And last but not least the beautiful personality of Danielle who has a natural way of sharing her knowledge and teaching.
A huge thank you !
I am over the moon with my purchase! Dani kept me updated along the way while she was making them, which I really appreciated. I absolutely fell in love with the pieces as soon as I laid my eyes on them.
Absolutely in love with my ceramic jars! They go so perfectly in my nursery and I can’t wait to use them! The quality to each hand made item is exquisite 😍
I recently ordered from Calico Ceramics and I absolutely love the beautifully hand crafted wildling that I ordered! It will make a wonderful addition to any little (or even big) one's room! Will definitely order again in the future.
I bought myself and my Ma tickets for this workshop for her birthday- it was a surprise and she didn’t know what to expect, we had the BEST time getting our hands dirty and laughing while relaxing. PLUS THE FOOD! OMG! And we got we got to do it all over agin for the 2nd part of the workshop! Definitely
