SODA Workshop Program
SODA acknowledges how important the sharing of knowledge and skills are to establishing a rich appreciation for ceramics in the community. The workshop program at SODA allows for a unique cultural experience as we invite the community to learn about clay in a working studio environment. The workshops are specifically an exploration into the varied possibilities of working with clay.

Each year a comprehensive workshop program is implemented by the artist at SODA. A feature of the workshop program is the workshop demonstrations by International Visiting Artists who kindly share their expertise with the WA community during their time at SODA. Classes for both Adults and children are posted on the website throughout the year.
