Join this polymer clay sculpture class in Tynemouth and enjoy a relaxed, creative evening at Luis Café & Bar. You'll spend two hours crafting a figure inspired by the iconic Feathers McGraw from Aardman Animations in a social and supportive environment.
This workshop is designed with beginners in mind, so there's no need to worry if you've never picked up clay before. You'll receive step-by-step guidance to help you shape and detail your character using professional-quality, vibrant polymer clay. Because this medium is mess-free and requires no water or paint, you can simply switch off and focus on the fun of making. To make the experience even cosier, you'll also have a glass of prosecco or a warm hot drink to sip on while you work.
During this session, you will:
  • Hand-sculpt your character – Learn the simple techniques needed to build and detail your own Feathers McGraw.
  • Enjoy a social atmosphere – Connect with friends or meet new people in a welcoming café setting.
  • Discover a new hobby – Get to grips with a versatile material that's easy to use again at home.
This lighthearted class is a wonderful way to break your routine and find a spark of nostalgia. You'll finish the session with a unique handmade keepsake to take home and bake in your own oven, leaving you with a lasting memento of your evening as a clay creator.
Please note: Your sculpture will need to be baked at home to fully harden. Instructions on how to do this will be provided.

Back in the day, while studying 3D Modelling and Animation in London, I first got into clay modelling — initially as part of a university module, but it quickly became a hobby and creative obsession. I’ve always loved comics, cartoons, and animation, and spent years drawing and illustrating, heavily inspired by shows like The Simpsons and classic pop culture characters.
Before teaching workshops, I worked as a freelance illustrator and even picked up a few commissions with Time Out magazine. A few years later, I started experimenting with selling handmade sculptures on Etsy.
While that didn’t quite take off the way I’d hoped, it unexpectedly led me to teaching — which turned out to be the thing I genuinely loved most.
I began running small polymer clay sessions at a local community centre, charging a small fee and teaching people how to make fun, pop culture-inspired creations.
From there, things grew naturally into what I do now: teaching workshops across Newcastle at venues including Tyneside Cinema and The Grove, as well as running corporate team-building sessions for companies such as Mott MacDonald, Autodesk, and One Strawberry Lane. I’ve also hosted birthday parties, hen dos, and private events.
Most of my sessions are themed around pop culture and nostalgic favourites — from Pokémon and The Simpsons to E.T, Alien, and Aardman Animations. I love seeing people connect through shared fandoms while getting creative at the same time.
One thing people really enjoy about the workshops is how accessible and mess-free they are — there’s no painting involved because I use high-quality, vibrantly pigmented FIMO Professional clay. In just an hour and a half, attendees can create something they’re genuinely proud of, while also enjoying a few drinks, chatting, and spending time with friends or meeting new people.
For me, the workshops are just as much about the social experience as they are about making something to take home and bake in the oven afterwards. It’s relaxed, creative, nostalgic, and fun — even for people who don’t think of themselves as “artistic.”
