Check out these unique clay pottery workshops by ClayLife: ‘MUST haves for the home’ where you'll learn how to create your own ceramic masterpiece using the versatile hand-building technique.
Each session focuses on a different trendy theme, allowing you to explore the endless possibilities of this clay-crafting method.
Under the expert guidance of ceramic artist Nina, you'll discover how to shape, texture, and embellish your unique piece, all while enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Manchester's quirkiest cafés and bars.
From ticketed events in unique venues to hen parties, corporate bookings, birthday parties etc, we have you covered! ClayLife can accommodate from 1- 80 people.
Nina also offers more intimate classes in her ClayLife studio (see pictures) in Hope Mill, Ancoats, for those who want private sessions. The ClayLife studio can accommodate 1-6 people. You can request any sort of clay hand building workshop, from sculpting animals, to people to vases or bowls (etc). ClayLife is also mobile with our own tables and chairs (extra charges may apply) so if you want us to come to you, let us know!
Don't worry even if you've never touched clay before—these workshops are designed to welcome complete beginners as well as those with some experience. Nina's step-by-step instruction will guide you through each stage of the process, ensuring you feel confident and inspired as you bring your creation to life.
By the end of the session, you'll have crafted a one-of-a-kind ceramic piece that reflects your personal style and newfound skills. But the creative journey doesn't end there—you'll also have the opportunity to select a glaze colour for your masterpiece, which will then be professionally fired at the ClayLife Studio in Ancoats (Hope Mill).
This workshop offers more than just a new craft skill; it's a chance to unlock your artistic potential, meet like-minded individuals, and take home a beautiful, functional piece of art that you've made with your own hands. Everything you need is provided, so you can simply turn up and let your creativity flow.
Collection of your art will be from Hope Mill, alternatively delivery can be organised if you have traveled from far! (additional fees will apply for delivery).
Arrive 10 minutes early to settle in and buy a drink or snack (if desired), as the event will start on time! Late arrival may result in an incomplete piece.
We can’t wait to clay with you!
