The Slow Afternoon: A Journey in Clay

An immersive experience in clay, craft, and pahuway.

Dedicated time to connect with the rhythm of your own hands. Hosted in the lush setting of Siama Hotel, this workshop invites you to explore the ancient art of hand-building—no wheels, no machines, just raw earth and intention.

Under the guidance of Dayaw Ceramics, you will focus on foundational pinching and coiling techniques. A curated merienda will be served, where we share Siama's favorite homegrown recipes for an afternoon bite. We conclude the session at the garden to enjoy golden hour together.
