Looks like we’re in for a chilly few days – time to cosy up! Join one of our Clay Modelling sessions for families in half term and create a Cosy Cottage. 🏠
😊
These creative sessions are designed for adults and children and no previous experience of working with clay necessary, just a willingness to have some fun with clay. 😀

‘Cosy Cottage’ takes place Tuesday 13 February and all though the morning session is fully booked, we do have space at 2pm. Please visit our Clay Modelling page to check availability and to book your spaces.

With Summer a mere whisker away, we are pleased to announce details of our fabulous pottery sessions for families in the holiday period.

Pirates and Mermaids provide the inspiration and participants, young and old are invited to explore the nautical theme in clay.

Dates:

Tuesday 30 May 2023 (half term)

Tuesday 1 Aug 2023

Tuesday 15 Aug 2023

Tuesday 29 Aug 2023

The prospect of making a ‘Jack Sparrow’ or an ‘Ariel’ out of clay is an appealing one, and of course, no self respecting Pirate or Mermaid would be without their ship or clam shell.  So much potential for the imagination to run wild and we are genuinely excited to see what visitors make.

Oh yes, you also get to paint your clay work there and then with a considerable spectrum of under-glaze colour. Once the work has dried, we’ll fire and glaze your creations, ready for collection from the Pottery a few weeks later – we’ll drop you an email to let you know when they are ready. if you are on holiday in the area or are unable to collect for whatever reason, P+P can be arranged at £5 per item.

Places cost £25 per person and can be booked online. (follow the link and scroll to the bottom of the page)

We love the variety of aprons and protective clothing people wear when they undertake an Introduction to the Potter’s Wheel Class...What will you wear!?

We’re delighted to announce details of our fun and creative clay modelling sessions for families scheduled for the fast approaching Easter holiday.

Funny Bunny is the title and participants, all ages and abilities will get to make rabbit inspired clay sculptures using the pinch-pot, hand modelling technique.

Once potters have finished modelling their creations, they can paint their bunnies, there and then with coloured slips and underglazes.

The resulting work will need to dry thoroughly before it is fired twice in the Pottery kilns. This whole process takes approximately one month and participants will be notified via email once their work is ready for collection from the Pottery. If participants are unable to collect, P+P can be arranged at £5 per item.

These sessions are designed to be inter generational and grown-ups have as much fun as the kids. No previous experience of working with clay necessary, just a willingness to get creative with clay and have a lot of fun.

The 90 minute sessions commence at 11.00 am on both days and cost £25 per participant. U12’s need to be accompanied by an adult.

To book your place(s) please visit our Clay Modelling Projects. You’ll find more details about our fabulous sessions for families and also be able to book online.
