Experience the new Extraordinary Portraits exhibition by getting hands-on with clay in this 'Pottery & Sip' workshop led by Bradford artist, Jess Swift.

Join us at Loading Bay to create a self‑portrait in air‑dry clay, cutting, shaping and building a piece that reflects you. It’s a relaxed, creative session focused on experimenting and expressing your identity. Whether you’re a beginner or have tried clay before, Jess will guide you step‑by‑step to make your own Extraordinary Portrait.

Come with friends or on your own and meet new people. All materials are provided—just bring your imagination. Enjoy a mocktail or warm drink during the session, and take home your own creation.
