About this event

Have you ever wanted to have a go at building a ceramic pot? Well this is your chance to have a go and get creative.

The workshop will be split into two parts on different dates as this allows us to get your pots fired ready for decoration. In part 1 you will be shown how to build a pot using coils of clay. These will go off to be fired in our kiln, then in part 2 you will come back in to decorate your ceramic creations using coloured ceramic paint. You will also be shown how to apply coloured glazes which you will then have a chance to have a go at yourself. These will go back to the kiln for a final firing ready for collection or delivery. No experience necessary, just a willingness to try.
Equipment & materials: Clay, glazes and tools are provided. You may wish to bring along an apron.

You will produce: A small coil pot which will be fired twice in our electric kiln.
Collection/delivery: Your item will usually be ready within ten days. 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 13 welcome. Any child under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied at all times by an adult.

Workshop duration: 4 hours (day 1 – making) and 3 hours (day 2 – decorating)

Price: £50.00 per person
