Arrive at the venue

Arrive at the Venue

When you arrive at the venue, I'll be there to greet you and show you where you will be sitting. You can then store your coats and bags to the side, in a secure place. If you have any challenges finding the venue, give me a text on my mobile (my number will be on the booking confirmation).


Grab a drink (if you'd like one)

Grab a Drink (if You'd Like One)

I'll show you where the on-site bar is, so you can grab a tipple or soft drink before the class kicks off. If you arrive slightly late, don't worry. There will be plenty of time to get up and head to the bar throughout the workshop.


Make a pinch pot

Make a Pinch Pot

I will then guide you step-by-step as we make a pinch pot. This is a pot that you will shape, smooth, and decorate. Later, once dried, it can be used to store your trinkets, rings, or car keys. It's also a great way to get familiar with the clay, using tools and techniques that will help you in the freestyle section.


Freestyle!

Freestyle

Now, taking ideas from the provided sheets (or your imagination) we will work together to create 1 or 2 more sculptures. Once you have decided what you would like to spend the second half of the class making, I will provide 1-1 guidance, so you can get started and create the finished piece you're dreaming of.


Taking your creations home

Taking Your Creations Home

Once you're finished, you'll be given a bag to take your creations safely home in. You can expect to leave with 2-3 unique sculptures. When you get home, your creations will air dry in 3-5 days. Then you can paint them, or place them on display just as they are!


Join this clay sculpting activity in Manchester for an evening of playful creativity, complete with a drink or two*! In this relaxed workshop, you'll learn how to make your own unique clay sculptures.
A friendly artist will be on hand to guide you, showing you how to work with the clay. You'll have the choice to follow along with specific instructions or let your own ideas take shape by going freestyle. This activity is designed to be fun and accessible, whether you're a total beginner or have sculpted before.
It's a brilliant option for first dates, evenings out with mates, hen parties, corporate get-togethers, or even if you just fancy a solo creative session. Get hands-on with clay in a welcoming atmosphere. Feel the wonderful sense of accomplishment as you create something from scratch and take home your finished clay sculpture at the end of the night.
*Please note, drinks are not included in this class.

  • 5/5 from Marta Madeja, attended Jun 2026: Had such a great time at the Slurp & Sculpt class with Happy Yappy Clay ✨ It's the perfect weeknight activity if you're looking to switch off after work and do something different. The class was relaxed, fun, and beginner-friendly - even if, like me, you quickly realise pottery is much harder than it looks! A special shout-out to Cara, who was incredibly attentive, patient, and helpful throughout the session. They took the time to guide everyone individually and was especially patient with my very questionable pottery hands I left feeling relaxed, proud of my creation, and already thinking about booking another class. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 from George Campbell, attended Apr 2026: Hayley was really engaging and made for a fun afternoon sculpting. Apologies if we missed it in the small print - with it being billed as "slurp and sculpt" we thought at least one 'slurp' might be included in the price.

  • 4/5 from Danielle Mellish, attended Mar 2026: This class was booked as an anniversary gift. I felt it wasn't really what I expected. We thought this was using a pottery wheel which appeared on the picture it was advertised with. The lady who took the class was lovely but we didn't feel we were really shown what to do, how to use the tools or what was expected of the class. Nevertheless we really enjoyed it and the teacher was perfect for that job. She had a great personality.
  • 5/5 from Abbie Walmsley, attended Feb 2026: Was so much fun! Millie was so lovely and welcoming, she taught us for an hour and then walked around and helped us make whatever we wanted to. Would definitely go again and recommend
  • 5/5 from Caleb, attended Feb 2026: Great class, Great teacher, came all the way from New Zealand for it, worth it 100%
  • 5/5 from Jackson Kearney, attended Feb 2026: Class was run amazingly and the whole night was awesome, super friendly and helpful teacher. Would 100% recommend
  • 5/5 from Jan-Sarah Harrison-Shakarchy, attended Feb 2026: I took my girlfriend as a gift and I’m really glad I chose Happy Yappy clay. It was the perfect mix of being taught techniques and having room for creativity. Everything was well organised and well thought out.
  • 5/5 from Jess Davies, attended Feb 2026: Millie was great! Taught everyone how to make a pot to learn the basics first then could make whatever you wanted, she was so lovely and helpful!
  • 5/5 from Dominika Miskova, attended Feb 2026: A lovely class! The teacher was super sweet and helpful, we had a great time!
  • 4/5 from Katie Barlow, attended Feb 2026: Millie was lovely and really supportive. I think the wording/name of the class is a bit misleading as it implies you will get a drink included but this was not the case. We weren’t the only people to think that a drink was included.
  • 3/5 from Dawn Wilde, attended Feb 2026: Started late and felt over subscribed, with some of us not sat at a proper table with the rest, and all in a very small room. Expensive for the price as this didn’t include a single drink.
  • 5/5 from Charlotte Longton, attended Jan 2026: Millie was so lovely and professional, she explained everything so well and made everyone feel comfortable. It was really nice seeing all different types of people in the class, and how everyone was visibly enjoying the activity.
  • 5/5 from Caroline York, attended Jan 2026: Lovely set up. Class teacher was patient and very helpful. We all had a lovely time. Good value for money.
  • 5/5 from Sophia, attended Jan 2026: Lovely experience with Millie! My friend surprised our girl group with the slurp and sculpt and it was so fun and relaxed, really recommend!
  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Brooks, attended Dec 2025: Had a great time at the Slurp and Sculpt class. The teacher was lovely and explained everything well. They moved around the room well, chatting and giving advice and help where needed. I would definitely do it again and recommend it to friends. The venue was lovely too
