Join us in a fun family class learning to make animal pots. Choose to use air-drying clay, add a fun throwing taster on the wheel and paint your creations for firing in our kiln. A fun and creative experience not to be missed! Great for all ages, adults and children.

Animal Pots:
In the class, you will use a range of techniques including pinching, mark making, and relief. You can make your pots from special air-drying clay which contains nylon fibres, allowing it to dry strong and hard-wearing without the need for firing. Take your pots straight home with you after the workshop to dry. These can then be painted with acrylic paints (available to buy at the studio). Air-drying clay pots are ideally for decorative use and artificial plants. Adding an acrylic varnish to all surfaces will help make them watertight but to ensure they are completely waterproof adding the glazed and fired option is recommended.

Glazing and Firing with an extra 30 minutes – optional extra:
If you would like to paint your planters with a huge assortment of exciting glazes we will fire them for you in our studio kiln. This will turn your pots from clay into colourful, shiny and waterproof pottery, making them ideal for real plants. Fired pottery can be collected at a later date (takes approximately 1 month).

Wheel Throwing Taster with an extra 30 minutes – optional extra:
Try your hand throwing a pot on the potter’s wheel! This is a fun and messy activity and gives children and adults a chance to have a go at this interesting skill. Your thrown pots can be taken straight home or if you have added glazing and firing to your booking you will be able to paint your pots in the studio for firing in our kiln, turning the clay into pottery.
