Hands shaping a lump of clay on a work surface surrounded by pottery tools.

About

Join local artist Jess Swift as she guides you through the technique of coil building with air dry clay.

In this pottery session, Jess will show you how to create your own decorative bowl or planter using simple coiling techniques. Building up your form layer by layer, you’ll learn how to shape, refine, and personalise your piece, infusing it with your own choice of shapes, patterns, and textures.

You will take home your creations at the end of the workshop to dry at home, and you can either leave them plain or decorate them!

No experience needed, just come in clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy!

*Please note – the air dry clay we will be using has nylon fibres inside*

*Also note – Since we are using air dry clay, the bowls or planters will be decorative or home plastic plants only*
