Egg Holder Tray Making

Get ready for Easter and join us at Wheal Martyn for our two-part egg tray making workshop.

In part 1 you will be shown how to mould an egg-shaped holder from a slab of clay. These will go off to be fired in our kiln. Then in part 2 you will come back in to decorate your egg holder trays using a variety of ceramic paints which will bring your creation to life. Your work will go off to have a clear glaze applied and be fired again in our kiln ready for collection or delivery. No experience necessary, just a willingness to try.

Thursday 12 March 2026 (part 2)
