Join this adorable 3-hour otter pottery workshop in Kempston where you'll hand-build your very own otter friend from clay. This hands-on session is perfect for animal lovers and anyone looking to try their hand at sculptural pottery. The experience is made for beginners, so no experience is necessary – just bring your creativity!
These little cuties can be made holding a pebble, a shell, or even a baby otter – each one is completely unique to you. All materials, tuition, glazing, and firing are included.
You'll glaze your otter during the session:
Choose from our range of glazes – glaze it yourself as part of the workshop.
Return to paint it yourself – This is an extra £5 (you'll be contacted to arrange a date).
You'll walk away with a sense of joyful accomplishment after creating your own one-of-a-kind, handmade keepsake, ready for collection in approximately 4 weeks.
