Ceramic Hanging Planter Pocket Workshop

Join me in my studio at Middleport Pottery for a relaxing afternoon crafting your own beautiful hanging planter.



2.5 hours Class size 2 to 16 guests       £40 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join ceramic designer Alex Allday in her studio at Middleport Pottery, Stoke-on-Trent for a hands-on pottery workshop creating your own porcelain hanging planter pocket.
Spend a relaxing couple of hours learning how to hand-build in porcelain, along with how to apply a variety of surface decoration techniques using coloured slips, stains, different tools, and objects to create sgraffito, textures, and patterns on your own beautiful hanging planter pocket. Once fired, the pockets are watertight so you can display real flower stems in them.
You will be able to practise the different surface decoration techniques onto a couple of porcelain tiles/plaques or coasters before creating your pocket. These will be fired with your pockets.
The size of your finished and fired pocket will be approximately H16cm x W9cm and hang at a length of 26cm.
This workshop is the perfect experience to gift for Mother's Day or enjoy with friends and embrace some time to yourself getting creative.
Max number of participants: 7
All abilities welcome, and you do not need to have prior knowledge and experience in ceramics. With keeping it to a small group, you will each get one-on-one support and guidance throughout the workshop.
FAQs:
  • Your pieces will be fired after the workshop and will be ready to collect from my studio the following week. I can post them out to you at an additional cost to cover P&P.
  • Tea’s, Coffee’s, and refreshments will be provided throughout the workshop.
  • Aprons will be provided but wear old clothes and shoes
Any other info…
If you have any particular designs, patterns, and objects for inspiration that you want to work from, please bring them along.
