  $144 (Afterpay available)

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, soften inward, and create from the heart.
We begin with a gentle grounding beach walk, where you will be guided to connect with your breath, your body, and your own sacred heart. Through simple prompts and quiet reflection, we attune to the inner landscape before bringing that awareness into creative form.
After the walk, we gather in a candlelit space to decorate a handmade ceramic Sacred Heart, crafted by the artist especially for this experience. Working with ceramic paints and intuitive symbolism, you will translate your inner reflections into colour, pattern, and artistic vision.
This is not about perfection or technique. It is about presence, intention, and allowing the hands to speak what the heart already knows.
This workshop is ideal for those seeking:
  • a soulful creative ritual
  • a deeper connection to self and heart
  • a calm, nourishing art experience
  • a meaningful handmade object with personal symbolism
You will be able to take your heart home on the day.

female Women-owned

Hi, I’m Galia — ceramic artist, nature lover, and founder of Pottery of Gaia. Clay runs deep in my blood. I was born in Bulgaria, where pottery traditions go back thousands of years. My work is rooted in the slow beauty of handmade objects and inspired by the textures, patterns, and rhythms of the natural world.
I truly fell in love with ceramics over 20 years ago, while living in the stunning Mediterranean Island of Mallorca, Spain, where citrus groves, bougainvillea blooms, sea-blue tiles, and terracotta warmth awaken the senses. I shared a home with a local master ceramicist who introduced me to the magic of the craft and the soulful rhythms and traditional techniques of Mallorcan clay work.
Since moving to Australia, I’ve deepened my ceramic practice through studies at UNSW and Northern Beaches TAFE, and today I continue to explore this beautiful, diverse medium — one that literally co-creates with the elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Each piece is an alchemical dance between intention and surrender.
In my workshops, I guide you through a relaxing creative process that’s both grounding and joyful. I teach from three different spaces on the Northern Beaches. The main location is my cozy convenient studio in Collaroy opposite Alfresco Emporium, near Fishermans Beach. The second space is an amazing light-filled centre in the heart of Collaroy, with uninterrupted beach views and the sound of the ocean as your soundtrack. And finally, I also offer Alchemical open-air workshops from a stunning private nature sanctuary at my home studio.
Whether you’re a beginner or returning to clay, you’re warmly welcome. You'll leave with a handcrafted piece that’s completely your own... and maybe a little salty sunshine in your soul.
