Flowers and Clay Workshop

Service Description

Visit the pottery and spend a couple of hours in our glorious Victorian walled kitchen garden learning how we can use flowers in ceramics. Our teacher Gracie will show you how we work with flowers and herbs sourced directly from the garden, imprinting them directly into your clay and using them as inspiration for surface illustrations. This workshop is suitable for beginners and those who want to learn more about wonderful world of flowers, clay and surface decoration. You will have the chance to hand build a bowl and vase before trying out some surface decorating techniques and adding colour to your pieces. Your pieces will be transparent glazed after the session and fired work should be ready to collect within 6-8 weeks. The course price includes everything you will need including a dedicated work-space, clay, decorating materials, and most importantly snacks and refreshments throughout the session.
