Inspired by The Great Pottery Throwdown and fancy getting your hands on some clay? This fun, beginner-friendly two-hour workshop is the perfect introduction to hand-building pottery. Whether you're completely new to clay or looking to try something creative and relaxing, you'll learn new skills while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of working with clay.
During the workshop, you'll be guided through the fundamental techniques of hand-building, focusing on slab construction. You'll learn how to roll, shape, join and decorate clay to create a unique piece that's both functional and personal.
Our experienced instructor will guide you step-by-step throughout the session, helping you bring your ideas to life while building confidence with clay. You'll have access to high-quality materials and tools, ensuring the best possible creative experience.
As you immerse yourself in the process, you'll discover why so many people find working with clay calming and rewarding. The hands-on nature of pottery encourages mindfulness, creativity and a chance to switch off from the stresses of everyday life.
Once your piece has been professionally fired, you'll have a handmade creation to treasure, display in your home, or gift to someone special. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of creating something completely unique with your own hands.
What you'll get
A completed pottery piece made from clay.

What to bring
Everything you need will be provided on the workshop but please feel free to bring your own stamps or items you may want to impress into the clay such as coins, leaves, pasta shapes etc. Lace works particularly well.

You don't need to bring your booking confirmation, as we will have a record of it.

Crafty Monkey, based in St. Neots, Cambridgeshire, was founded in 2010 after Chrissy Bennett, the owner, attended a pottery painting workshop for her friend's hen party. From a one-man band, it has grown to employ 6 members of staff and is now open 7 days a week with monthly adult evenings, some of which are themed. The studio seats up to 40 people at a push, but you can book in anytime to come in and paint pottery from our extensive range. We have a party area that can comfortably seat 10 (12 people at a push).
We offer a range of things from pottery painting and build-a-bear to baby prints and 3D baby casts. We are able to tailor workshops to specific requests. You can book individual or group bookings with us - anything to suit your crafting needs! Depending on the group size and where it is, we may also be able to come out to you!
