About

Join local artist Jess Swift for a relaxed, hands-on workshop exploring the art of pinch potting using air-dry clay.

In this friendly, sociable pottery session, you’ll learn simple techniques to shape and form your own unique vases by hand. Starting with the basics, Jess will guide you through the process of turning a lump of clay into your own handmade vase!

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, these vases will be decorative or home plastic plants only*
