Clay Sculpture & Hand Building Experience Gifts
Discover the joy of working with clay in this relaxed and creative 2-hour pottery workshop in Manchester. You'll decorate your piece using the sgraffito technique, carving into the clay to reveal beautiful patterns and designs!
Perfect for complete beginners or anyone wanting to experience ceramics for the first time, you'll learn the basics of hand-building while creating your own platter or small bowl.
After your workshop, your piece will be bisque fired, glazed and fired -- ready for collection at a later date. Come along, get your hands muddy, and enjoy the therapeutic process of creating something truly unique!
