We will be running this workshop twice this term. The dates are:
- Saturday 2nd May 3.30-5.30pm and
- Thursday 21st May 7.30-9.30pm
£40 per person. All materials included.
You know how much we love a unique pottery class here at Where Inspiration Blooms and this one is no exception... and best of all its suitable for complete beginners (as well as more experienced potters!).
In this 2-hour class, led by our pottery expert and co-founder of Where Inspiration Blooms, Caroline Oden, you will have the opportunity to create 3 cane toppers. These little beauties are perfect for ensuring that you don't spike yourself when leaning into your flower beds to grab those annoying and constantly appearing weed, but they also make a really lovely garden decoration and best of all YOU made them!
You will be learning about and making your toppers using 3 different pottery techniques:
- pinch pots
- slab building (or hand building)
- slip casting
These 3 techniques make up the basis of so many people's pottery practises so we hope they'll give you a really fabulous introduction to the world of ceramics.
You will also have the opportunity to choose which colour you would like us to glaze your pieces (from our selection of glazes) which we will do for you after they've had their first firing. The finished pieces will then be ready for collection in approximately 4 weeks. You will receive an email from us inviting you to book a collection slot to return to pick them up.
No experience necessary and all materials will be provided.
We recommend this workshop for adults; however, teenagers aged 14 and above are welcome to attend if you wish to enjoy this workshop together, provided they also purchase a place on the workshop too.
For more information or if you have any questions at all please do email us on julesandcaroline@whereinspirationblooms.co.uk
This class will only be able to go ahead if we have a minimum number of 5 guests. All of our teachers are highly skilled in their fields, but being an artist isn't always a well paid profession so we hope you understand why it's important that we ensure that our teachers can afford to run each of their classes. Should the class not be able to go ahead we will contact you no less than a week before the class is due to take place and full refunds will be issued.
