Join us for a full day of fun and interative pottery making with Dave, a finalist on the hit Channel 4 series The Great Pottery Throw Down.
Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your skills, this taster workshop is perfect for you. Try out three different pottery techniques:
1. Have a go at throwing a pot on an electric potter’s wheel – it is wonderfully challenging and may whet your appetite for a new hobby.
2. Use slabs and coils to hand build a pot. You can then decorate this with a coloured slip and create patterns using sgraffito techniques to take your creation to the next level.
3. Design, carve and illustrate a terracotta tile using beautiful leather-hard clay. Create a low-relief design of your choice, then add colour and texture using coloured slips and sgraffito techniques.
In this workshop learn the basics of pottery, get hands-on experience, and unleash your creativity in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a pottery expert and take home your own masterpiece.
