Fancy a wholesome afternoon creating pottery in Whitworth Locke, GRUB or SEESAW? Discover the joy of making your own beautiful handmade pieces at this fun and hands-on workshop in Manchester.

Your passionate teacher, Hollie will be hosting her clayful hand building pottery classes using the technique of 'pinching' which is perfect for those total clay newbies! You'll be shown how to use the air-dry clay with a quick demo at the start, then you'll be given the freedom to let your imagination run wild.

There will be guidance gladly provided throughout the workshop (if you need it), plus the additional option of having your pieces fired and glazed (£20.00 including postage). Popular finished products so far have been trinket dishes, ashtrays, planters, candlestick holders, sculptures and more.

At the end of this relaxed and casual pottery workshop, you'll have the confidence, knowledge and skills to continue your DIY journey with hand building clay!

Hi! I’m Hollie, a ceramicist and designer-maker based in Lancashire, UK. I make colourful, functional home-ware that serves a purpose whilst spreading joy!

I first fell in love with ceramics when I was introduced to small batch production methods such as the traditional techniques of wheel-throwing, mold-making and slip-casting. After graduating in 2019, I set up my studio with the intention of offering pottery workshops alongside creating my pieces.
