We're thrilled to invite you to the 2026 Throwing Shapes Burren Retreat at Common Knowledge Centre in The Burren, County Clare. This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in a weekend of ceramics, creativity, nature and community in the UNESCO Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark.

Over four (25-28 September 2026) unforgettable days, participants will explore wood, salt, and barrel firings, learn to process wild clay, create natural glazes, build kilns and make handmade tools. Whether you're an experienced ceramicist or completely new to clay, this retreat is designed to encourage experimentation, slowing down and connection.

To book this retreat you need to bring 12 pieces of bisqueware which should be fired independently. Throwing Shapes will not bisque fire your work.

What to expect:

FRIDAY - 25 SEPT:  Arrival & Connection. Arrive at 2pm and settle into retreat life with a biodiversity walk, glazing workshop, breathwork and a shared dinner designed to help everyone slow down, connect and arrive fully into the weekend.

SATURDAY - 26 SEPT:  Fire & Celebration. A hands-on day of kiln building and wood and salt firings, balanced with sauna time, shared meals, céilí dancing and Irish storytelling by the fire.

SUNDAY - 27 SEPT:  Making & Exploration. A slower day focused on creativity and learning through yoga, tool making, wild clay processing, natural glazes and evening barrel firings.

MONDAY - 28 SEPT : Reflection & Departure. We'll unload the kilns together, reflect on the weekend's work and experiences and close with a final circle before heading home at 1pm inspired and recharged.

EXPLORE & RELAX:  Enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Common Knowledge and County Clare in your free time - relax in the sauna, explore the land or curl up with a book in the library.

ACCOMMODATION:  Accommodation is cosy, comfortable and thoughtfully designed, with a range of room options available. Even the shared dorm rooms feature comfortable bunk beds with privacy curtains.

ACCESSIBILITY:  The retreat centre is compact and fully onsite, with all accommodation located on the ground floor. If you have any accessibility needs or concerns, please get in touch before booking.

i should have waited for there to be reviews posted
Format: Kindle
I'm being more generous than I should because this is a debut novel i downloaded this book because i like why choose and band romances i figured that it wouldn't take too long to get back to where the prologue was because the prologue seemed to be less than a day before they met the FMC and the MMCs don't meet til 60 % of the way in which for a Romance novel kinda hard for the relationship to develop or for there to be plot beyond them just meeting in a way where the FMC really lacks agency a lot of early plot and character things are forgotten about after they met it's almost as if the last third of the book was written first and then they went back to write backstory separately but forgot there needs to be a plot i get wanting to have background on the characters, but there has to be a way to do it without constant time jumps and no plot progression. Tessa's story jumps around a week lead up so much also the band aspect is very much an afterthought in the novel Spoilers-- one of the MMCs is openly pan and one of them has been dealing with a bi awakening but being somewhat defensive about it and once Tessa arrives that gets forgotten about til the epilogue and even then doesn't actually confront his sexuality the wrap up of the church hiding her name is tied up with a quick sentence, but no real consequences for anyone i honestly thought she forgot about family pack IRS deal until the final chapter and that gets resolved in an unsatisfying way the pack is upset that Tessa gets viewed as an object and tricked into the contract but has no interest in making the company's wrongdoings public or trying to prevent this from happening to other omegas tessa goes over a lot of struggles of homelessness but she only thinks about food waste once after joining the pack -- you'd think she'd use her newfound wealth and power to help other homeless individuals, especially youths and omegas. even a little side note to say that a portion of tour proceeds or her family fortune would go towards public food pantries and shelters would've done something to connect her beginning character to the end character

BORING and too long
Format: Kindle
I could not believe how wordy and boring this book was. No spice at all. Slow burn is really a NO burn. Almost DNF and now I’m sorry I stuck with it. 500 pages could ave been 150 and it would have been more than enough. I highly doubt not recommend this work of yuck.

Still 4 stars
Format: Kindle
A little to much before and to much dive into the days, months before, but I still kept reading. Maybe because of that you could read about them all. I just couldn't put this book in my to read another day list. I just wanted to know what happens to them.

Promising but not without issues
Format: Kindle
First off, the FMC and the pack don't meet until about 60% of the way through. That's just way too late honestly. I can appreciate the backstory of the band and the FMC, but I skimmed at times wondering when they'd meet. I did like the writing and premise but I thought the execution needed a lot of work. The characters were pretty well developed, but they didn't spend that much time on the page together, so I thought that led to the story suffering. I will give her another shot, as I think the writing has promise... It just didn't come all together in a way that I could wholeheartedly recommend.
