In this captivating workshop, you'll have the chance to craft your very own miniature plant pots using the remarkable material of Jesmonite, which was rightfully named 'Material of the Year' in 2017.

Jesmonite is a truly versatile medium that promises a unique outcome with every creation, allowing you to explore the boundless realms of your imagination. Under Kim's expert guidance, you'll learn the art of weighing, mixing, and adding vibrant colours and textural effects to create plant pots that are as unique as your artistic vision.

Whether you're drawn to the soft allure of pale pastels or the bold vibrancy of vivid hues, whether you prefer the simplicity of block colours or the mesmerizing beauty of marbled effects, this workshop offers something for every taste. And the best part? You'll get to experience a special type of Jesmonite that sets by the end of the session, allowing you to take your masterpieces home with you on the very same day!

Set in the beautiful and airy space of The Craft Barn in Hadfield, this workshop promises to be an unforgettable experience, where creativity and sustainability converge. Not only will you unleash your artistic potential, but you'll also be contributing to the noble cause of upcycling and reducing waste, all while creating something truly special for your beloved plants.

Travelling workshops run by Kim Searle.

All my workshops are based on encouraging sustainability, building community and supporting attendees well-being. I am passionate about ensuring craft sessions are accessible to all, providing discounts on most courses for people on low/no incomes, seeking out venues that are wheelchair accessible and ensuring that workshops are calming with more of an emphasis on enjoyment and new skills over perfection.

I also run workshops at festivals including Glastonbury, Green Man, End of the Road, Underneath the Stars, Deershed, Wychwood Cornbury, Greenbelt, Just So, Beacons, FarmFest, BeatHerder and more!

I studied BA (Hons) Textile Crafts at the University of Huddersfield, specialising in textile printing. I’ve also studied weaving, felting, bookbinding, dark room photography and fine art printing at L'Ecole des Beaux Artes at Besancon, The Academy of Design in Kuopio and Leeds University, as well as studying a range of creative techniques on a foundation course at UcCA Canterbury.
