In this hands-on pottery workshop in Manchester, you'll blend two different coloured clays to create a stunning, unique marbled vessel, perfect for a contemporary home accent. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some clay experience, you'll love watching the beautiful swirl of colour emerge as you work.
This is a hand-building class, so no wheel is required. The session focuses on the foundational techniques of preparing and manipulating marbled clay.
Here’s what you'll learn and create:
  • Marbling technique – Discover how to wedge, layer, and gently blend two different coloured stoneware clays to achieve the perfect, organic swirl pattern without over-mixing.
  • Slab construction – Learn to roll your marbled clay into a flat slab and use simple tools to cut, shape, and join the clay to form a beautiful, seamless vessel.
  • Finishing touches – Refine the lip and base of your piece to ensure it is sturdy and visually balanced.
Your finished piece will be a decorative vessel, which can function simply as a sculptural piece. The studio team can also fill your vessel with wax, turning it into a beautiful candle.
The 2.5-hour class includes all materials, such as two colours of premium stoneware clay and all the necessary tools. All you need to bring is yourself and clothes you don't mind getting a little clay on!
You’ll leave the class feeling inspired by this mesmerising process, having created a beautiful, one-of-a-kind marbled vessel to adorn your home.
Please note:
  • Your vessel will be handled with care after the workshop. We will fire the vessels, and our team will fill them with wax should you choose this option.
  • Your finished vessel or candle will be ready for pick-up at the studio in approximately 6 weeks.
