If you've always wanted to have a go at pottery and wanted a bit of inspiration, this class will teach you to make an adorable handmade bird feeder to tempt all manner of feathered friends into your garden.
Hosted by experienced potter Louise, you'll be using a lovely stoneware clay to hand shape your bird feeder, with lots of ideas for the design, then adding pattern and decoration to your liking. You'll learn how to add high firing wire to make the perfect sculpture in the shape of a bird for your garden or as a gift for friends and family. The clay magically turns from a rich terracotta to a slate black in the high temperature kiln firing.
Once fired it can be fixed to a steel pole and is frost proof for all year round garden delight!
Don't worry if this is your first time trying ceramics, as Louise will be on-hand throughout the session with help and advice. Everything you need will be ready and waiting for you, so come along, enjoy the relaxed, friendly ambience and learn to create with clay.

Hello, I’m Louise
I adore leading pottery experiences, passing on pottery skills to other people. Clay is infectious!
I did a degree in Ceramics at Loughborough in the late 1980s and then had community arts roles and a pottery business in my 20's and 30's. After a career in children's services and growing my family I'm now full time in the pottery.
My dad, Rodney, was a brilliant bird artist, and both he and my mum found ways to encourage my artistic nature. They supported me in everything I did. Aged 13, I had a day with a local potter and was hooked on the clay.
When I started out in Ceramics in the 1990's the internet was just an idea, but with the help of my adult children I've grown my online presence and enjoy customer interactions both in person and over social media.
I also head out to local in person markets, my brilliant Mum helps with these.
I have a beautiful workshop which is bright and spacious, so the perfect commute down the garden path and the big pine table which is the hub of activity great for gathering with others who want to learn the craft or chatting to friends and neighbours as I make.
