About this event
We are running a one-day workshop where you will be shown two basic techniques – how to make a pinch pot and a decorative tile. You will get to paint your creations with a selection of different coloured slips. Your work will go off to have a clear glaze applied and be fired in our kiln ready for collection or delivery. No experience necessary, just a willingness to try.
Equipment & materials: Clay, slips and tools are provided. You may wish to bring along an apron and a snack as it will run over lunch time.
You will produce: A pinch pot and a decorative tile which will be fired in our electric kiln.
Collection/delivery: Your items will usually be ready within two to five weeks. You can either collect your item from Wheal Martyn or we can post it to you. If you would like it posted, please select this option when you book online.
Combine with a visit: If you are not an annual pass holder but would like to combine your workshop with a visit to the museum you can purchase a reduced-price admission ticket at the point of booking.
Level: Beginners, from age 10 welcome. Any child under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by an adult at all times.
