Come and explore the world of pottery and hand forming vessels!
Maddy will guide you through an introduction to pottery, supporting you to make your own piece of pottery art from air-dry clay.
We’ll be focusing on making vessels – think ornamental pots, bud vases, trinket dishes…whatever you can think of!
At the end of the workshop you will walk away with new skills and a hand made object to adorn your home!
All materials included in this workshop – just come and have a wonderful time!
What will we cover?
In this fun, hands-on workshop you will learn how to:
- Condition our clay
- Techniques to work with air-dry clay to make vessels
- Design and hand shaping clay
- Stamp, emboss, engrave into clay
- Attaching pieces of clay together correctly for strength, like handles and feet
What to bring?
All materials are covered in the ticket price.
Have a think about what you might like to create, and also about how
to transport this home. It can be really useful to bring along an empty
tupperware container and shopping bag to transport your clay work home
safely.
