Hand Building Pottery Class: Vase

Come to Bristol and get playful with clay at this vase pottery class!



2.5 hours Class size 1 to 10 guests       £40


Unlock your creativity and bring your vision to life with this hands-on pottery class in Bristol! You'll explore the art of hand building, learning two key techniques: pinching and coiling, to create your own one-of-a-kind vase.
The session starts with a relaxed brainstorming session, where you'll spend 10-15 minutes sketching out ideas and visualising your design. Once you've settled on a concept, you'll be guided through the process of shaping your vase from scratch. The best part? There's no limit to your creativity! You can personalise your piece with intricate details, whether it's stamping your name or sculpting decorative shapes to add on later.
When your vase is ready, it's time to add some colour! You'll have a selection of paints to choose from, allowing you to bring your design to life with your unique artistic touch. After the workshop, your piece will be bisque fired, glazed, and fired again, making it ready for collection in about 4-6 weeks. We’ll let you know when your creation is ready, and we’ll keep it safe for up to three months for you to collect.
This workshop is designed to make working with clay fun and approachable, whether you're joining solo or booking for a special occasion like a birthday, hen party, or team event. Get ready to dive into the world of pottery and leave with a stunning, handmade vase!

Hello! I'm Jess from Jess Made This Mess and I offer a wide variety of ceramic workshops at Wild Clay Studios! My workshops are intended to be a safe and creative space that encourage people to try something new using hand building techniques such as slab building, coiling and pinching. I aim to make pottery accessible to everyone and anyone that wants to give it a go! You don't need all the bells and whistles to make a gorgeous pot, and thats the brilliant thing about pottery.
