Kids and Teens Ceramic Mirror Making Workshop

Let your child (aged 10 to 17) join this fun pottery workshop in Colindale, where they will learn how to craft a unique mirror from raw clay.In our bright, professionally equipped ceramics studio, experienced tutor Jo will guide your child through each step of this exciting activity over two relaxing hours. They'll start by learning the fundamentals of slab building before exploring a fantastic range of decorative techniques – discovering how to:

• Sculpt cool details by hand
• Use sprig moulds for raised designs
• Impress interesting patterns using stamps, fabrics, or leaves
• Print onto the clay
• Apply colourful underglaze
• Try sgraffito (carving through the colour to reveal the clay beneath)

This creative workshop welcomes all skill levels within the age range in a friendly, supportive environment. With a maximum of eight students per session, your child will receive personalised guidance as they learn proper clay handling and decorative methods, working at their own pace with expert demonstrations. Everything your child needs for the activity is provided, from the clay and tools to the final glazing and firing, which our team handles after the workshop.It's a wonderfully rewarding experience for a young person to design and build their own functional piece of art from scratch. Your child will leave the workshop feeling proud, eagerly anticipating the collection of their beautifully finished ceramic mirror!Important notes:
