About

Come and have fun. Learn how to hand build your very own ceramic planter.

Visit our workshop, learn about ceramics and try it yourself! Come on your own or with a friend - this is an open, friendly environment.

What you’ll learn and what we’ll do.

You will learn about ceramics, different clays and decoration techniques.

Let the fun begin.

Out come the aprons, clay and tools to get your hands dirty. Hands on, you will make and personalise your own ceramic planter.

You’ll learn skills ceramists use when sculpting by hand. After your planter is complete you will learn to texture and add decorations.

No need to bring anything special, just arrive 5 minutes before class. We’ll have an apron ready for you.

No prior ceramics experience is necessary.

Engage with the artisans to deepen your understanding of the process and techniques.
