A whimsical pottery workshop in Manchester for people who love and appreciate Manchester’s pigeons. Beginner-friendly, so no previous experience necessary!
In this workshop, I will talk you through the step-by-step process of making a Manchester pigeon out of clay. You will also learn the basics of handling and working with polymer clay!
What to expect:
  • Make a unique pigeon.
  • Customise to your preferences.
  • Pay homage to Manchester’s beloved pigeons.
  • Create a unique piece of home decor.
  • One pigeon per person.
The workshop will last approximately one hour and ten minutes, and it will take 20 minutes to bake (harden) your new pet pigeon. I will do this on site. During that time, you are welcome to chill in the studio or explore Bromley Yard and collect your pigeon at 1:30.
Accessibility:
  • Bromley Yard is wheelchair accessible, but workshop participants will be required to step over a small step (think sliding doors) to access my studio.
  • There are toilet facilities on site, but they are not yet wheelchair accessible. Apologies for this inconvenience. I will update this information as soon as the situation changes.

I’m a polymer clay artist in Manchester. I love bringing weird and wonderful ideas to life. My inspirations include Yayoi Kusama and Nick Park, among others.
Anyone can work with polymer clay, they just need a good teacher (hint hint). I love watching people create their own polymer clay sculptures!
