Nature Printing in Clay Workshop

A morning of capturing nature in the clay surface at this hand-building class in London.



3 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £58 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

In this creative workshop, you'll learn how to design and create your own set of ceramic tiles using natural patterns and impressions. Throughout the session, you'll discover techniques for capturing botanical details in clay while crafting beautiful, nature-inspired tiles to display in your home.
This hands-on activity welcomes participants of all skill levels, requiring no previous ceramic experience. Working with clay is wonderfully intuitive and accessible for beginners, with its forgiving nature allowing for experimentation and creative discovery.
During the workshop, you'll work with soft, tactile clay in a peaceful garden setting, capturing the beauty of nature through direct impressions. A selection of foraged foliage will be provided for creating your prints, but you're also welcome to bring along any interesting leaves, flowers, or textures you'd like to experiment with. The process allows you to translate the intricate details of natural elements into permanent ceramic artworks.
By the end of this inspiring workshop, you'll have produced your own set of unique ceramic tiles that preserve the magical patterns found in nature. Your finished work will be taken away to be professionally glazed and fired, then posted to you approximately 3 weeks after the workshop, with postage included in the ticket price.

Hello I'm Emily a potter and basketweaver and I'm passionate about sharing my skills with you! Making with our hands is so important; it makes us feel connected and present to materials and process and unleashes the creativity I believe is in everyone. I work from my little garden shed in Surrey and host workshops from various locations in and around London. Please keep a look out here and hopefully something catches your eye!
Alternatively if are interested in 1-1 or family/friend workshops then please get in touch.
