In our engaging workshop, you will learn how to craft charming mushroom sculptures on our organic farm in Southam. Using the pinch pot technique, you'll create delightful clay mushroom and toadstool shapes, which can then be beautifully decorated with coloured clay slips. These whimsical creations are perfect for adding a touch of magic to your garden pots, lawns, or borders.
If you're new to sculpting or working with clay, fear not! Our workshop is designed for beginners, and our experienced instructor will guide you through each step with patience and encouragement. You'll feel a sense of joy and accomplishment as you see your mushroom sculptures come to life under your hands.
During the workshop, you will:
  • Learn the pinch pot technique to make mushroom and toadstool shapes
  • Use coloured clay slips to decorate your creations
Working with clay is a tactile and therapeutic activity that can be incredibly rewarding. As you immerse yourself in the creative process, you'll feel a sense of relaxation and satisfaction. And the best part? After 3 to 4 weeks to allow for drying, glazing, and firing, you get to take home your unique mushroom sculptures, ready to add a touch of whimsy to your outdoor space.
Join us for a transformative experience where you'll unleash your creativity and model these charming decorations for your garden.
