Create a 'clay mate'

A relaxing, tactile and fun workshop where guests design and create their own bespoke clay pot and ‘clay mate’ character!

In our clay workshop, delegates will enjoy the calming and sensory experience of working with clay – the perfect balance of mindfulness and playful fun. Hosted by our expert, delegates will be guided through each step. First, they will learn traditional potters’ slab building techniques to create their pot. Then things get really creative and guests are encouraged to explore their silly side, by forming their pot into a weird and wonderful character!

Each delegate will have the freedom to create their own design, with guidance from our tutor, so that the group can enjoy the shared experience of learning a new skill together, while expressing themselves with their own personalised project. This quirky and ‘wabi-sabi’ approach makes this workshop suitable for all abilities, as the pot is supposed to be unique, not perfect!

Pots can then be left as they are, displayed with their plant inside, or we’ll advise on how to glaze, or paint pots if guests would like to do so at a later date. At the end of the activity, each delegate will take home a pot that is as unique as they are!

What is included: Event host, instructors, materials, tools, plants to display in pots, gloves, aprons and table covers.
