Pinch Pot Making at the Muswell Hill Creatives Make & Mend Festival

What to Expect:

Under local ceramacist Noriko Nagaoka’s expert guidance, you’ll learn the art of pinch pot making using air-dried clay. This is your chance to craft something truly unique and personal!

Workshop Highlights:

Materials Provided: Each participant will receive 500g of air-dried clay, perfect for crafting an ornamental item. Think tea lights, candle holders, small plant pots or bowls, Christmas ornaments, or jewellery trays – the possibilities are endless!

Decorative Finishing: Opt for a smooth finish or get creative by decorating your pots with leaves, shells, or plastic stamps.

What to bring: your own decorative items to add a personal touch to your creation and an apron if you prefer.

Take Home Your Creation: Once your masterpiece is complete, take it home and allow it to dry for two days. After drying, you can paint your pot with acrylic paint and seal it with PVA glue to make it water-resistant.

Please note: The air-dried clay used in this workshop is not food safe and is intended for decorative purposes only.

This workshop promises to be a fun and fulfilling experience for all!

Age suitability: Age 6 years + (All children must be supervised by a parent/carer)
