Once again we’ll be heading on down to Countrytastic to share our love of working with clay with thousands and thousands of families.

If you’ve never been to Countrytastic, we can whole heartily recommend. It’s perfect for families looking for a great day out, packed full of activities and agricultural inspired fun.

We’ll be there encouraging young makers to model Super Hero Fruit & Veg. You’ll be able to take your creations away with you on the day to dry and paint at home.

Countrytastic is a one day event and takes place this coming Thursday 28th March 2024 at The Three Counties Showground in Malvern.

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.

Delighted to announce we’ll once again be expounding the scientific attributes of clay at The Cheltenham Science Festival taking place 6-11 June 2023.

We’ve been a  staple of the MakerShack since 2016 and worked with 10’s of thousands of participants getting hands on with clay in this marvelous, family friendly interactive space.

Just to whet your appetite, here’s a few photos from the MakerShack last year….and a lovely little video produced by the the organisers.

Funny Bunny clay modelling fun for families in the Easter Holidays

, , ,

Tuesday 4 April & Tuesday 11 April 2023. 11.00 am – 12.30 pm.

FUNNY BUNNY!

£25.00 per person.

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.
