I’m Ellie, a ceramicist based at the Manchester Ceramics Collective in Old Trafford and also work in the Interior Design Industry. I have been working with clay for nearly 7 years and now run workshops that combine my knowledge in interior design and with clay.
However, I aim to offer workshops that are more than just ceramics. Following an extremely difficult year where I lost someone incredibly special to me to mental health, I’ve had an overwhelming desire to do something that makes a difference.
Mental health is becoming more prominent than it ever has before, with an overwhelming amount of life pressures. At Sculpt and Sip, I aim to create a peaceful, mindful environment where people can come, connect, relax and escape from the stresses of busy lives and focus on the task of creating (over a glass of Prosecco or a non-alcoholic alternative!)
I still want to be able to give something back and fulfil that desire to do something to help. That’s why a percentage of all profits from Sculpt and Sip workshops go directly to Mind charity to help others who may need support through a difficult time.
Strap on that apron, grab some clay and get ready to unwind with ceramicist extraordinaire Ellie at Sculpt and Sip's relaxing pottery workshops in Manchester.
A great class, with lovely teachers and a very relaxing and wholesome environment. The Prosecco was nice as well!

Fantastic! Setting was great.
The founder was very helpful and gave us some background on her own career and some helpful starter tips before we began the session.
Very relaxing and creative atmosphere.

It was incredible and the atmosphere was incredible. There was such a wide variety of things that you could paint, so many colours available, I was impressed. Such a lovely place to get creative and let your imagination run wild. It was so therapeutic and honestly worth all the money spent on it. What an awesome experience

Organised this for a date night with my boyfriend and it was so fun! Super relaxed evening, with plenty of support from Ellie and Emily! We were both complete beginners, and it was very easy to pick up and paint. Highly recommend for a night of fun creativity!

Ellie and Kate were absolutely brilliant, on hand to assist with any ideas we had and gave great advice of how to achieve what we wanted to do. It was a great atmosphere and the two hours went very quickly.
Highly recommended, it was a great evening, even couples came
Everyone enjoyed it.

I bought a pottery painting workshop with Sculpt & Sip as a present for my friend who is pregnant and it was the perfect way to spend some quality time together at the end of a busy week: a very mindful activity, which allowed us to catch up and be creative together. The venue was great (See Saw) and instructions very easy to follow. Loved the atmosphere, would highly recommend and attend again! Can’t wait to see my plate

We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, Ellie was on hand to support each and every one of us. A very professional set-up, Ellie had thought of everything regarding equipment etc and hosting.
Everyone engaged and had fun, I am looking to book one of the monthly sessions across Greater Manchester!

Loved the workshop, so much fun!
Wish we had a little longer to paint and lightning was better.
Also wished there was a wide range of colours.
But overall we loved it. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much for your review, and I’m glad you enjoyed the workshop.
I really appreciate your feedback and will definitely be ordering some more colours for our next workshop (and invest in some additional lamps!)
Hopefully we’ll see you back soon.
