Arrive at the venue

Arrive at the Venue

When you arrive at the venue, I'll be there to greet you and show you where you will be sitting. You can then store your coats and bags to the side, in a secure place. If you have any challenges finding the venue, give me a text on my mobile (my number will be on the booking confirmation).


Grab a drink (if you'd like one)

Grab a Drink (if You'd Like One)

I'll show you where the on-site bar is, so you can grab a tipple or soft drink before the class kicks off. If you arrive slightly late, don't worry. There will be plenty of time to get up and head to the bar throughout the workshop.


Make a pinch pot

Make a Pinch Pot

I will then guide you step-by-step as we make a pinch pot. This is a pot that you will shape, smooth, and decorate. Later, once dried, it can be used to store your trinkets, rings, or car keys. It's also a great way to get familiar with the clay, using tools and techniques that will help you in the freestyle section.


Freestyle!

Freestyle

Now, taking ideas from the provided sheets (or your imagination) we will work together to create 1 or 2 more sculptures. Once you have decided what you would like to spend the second half of the class making, I will provide 1-1 guidance, so you can get started and create the finished piece you're dreaming of.


Taking your creations home

Taking Your Creations Home

Once you're finished, you'll be given a bag to take your creations safely home in. You can expect to leave with 2-3 unique sculptures. When you get home, your creations will air dry in 3-5 days. Then you can paint them, or place them on display just as they are!


Join this clay sculpting activity in Manchester for two hours of playful creativity, complete with a drink or two!* In this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop, you'll learn how to make your own unique clay sculptures.
A friendly artist will be on hand to guide you, showing you how to work with the clay. You'll have the choice to follow along with specific instructions or let your own ideas take shape by going freestyle. This activity is designed to be fun and accessible, whether you're a total beginner or have sculpted before.
It's a brilliant option for a Christmas party, work meeting, corporate event, birthday, hen-do, or any other special occasion. Get hands-on with clay in a welcoming atmosphere. Feel the wonderful sense of accomplishment as you create something from scratch and take home your finished clay sculpture at the end of the night.
*Please note, drinks are not included unless an add-on is purchased.
What you'll get
Unlimited air-dry clay throughout the class, sculpting tools, an apron, 1-1 guidance, a bag for carrying home, and a wooden tray.
