About this event

Come along and have a go at making a pinch pot. This workshop is great if you are wanting to try out pottery because it is a simple yet effective way to make a beautiful pot.

Once your pot is made you get to decorate it with a range of different coloured slips to bring your creation to life. Don’t worry if you are new to this, you will be given supervision and guidance from our pottery instructor throughout the workshop to ensure that you come away with a unique and beautiful creation. Once your pot is dry, it will be fired in our kiln. A clear glaze will then be applied and it will be fired again ready for you to come back in to collect. No experience necessary, just a willingness to try.

Equipment & materials: Clay, coloured slips and tools are provided. We recommend that you bring an apron along. Tea and coffee provided. You will produce: A pinch pot.
