Have you been wanting to try out clay sculpting? Here is the perfect opportunity! Join one of our all-ages mini pottery workshops… 

Mini Mushroom Characters
Unleash your creativity with this unique pottery experience! Join our pottery workshop and free-sculpt a small mushroom character to take home. Put a hole in the top to make it an incense holder or add holes to the cap and make it an earring stand. Under expert guidance, shape, personalise and underglaze (colour) your piece, bringing pottery to life in this delightful and hands-on workshop. Suitable for all skill levels, come and explore the world of clay and create a little mushroom that reflects your individual style.

What to Expect:

  •  Hand sculpting: No forms/moulds needed for this class, just good old free-sculpting fun!
  •  Learn about mushrooms: from spores to stipes and everything in between, learn all about the different parts of a mushroom, the different types, and why fungi matter so much.

Suitable for: All skill levels, from beginners to experienced potters

Please note: All children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult - we are all about learning together! 

What's Included:
  •  Expert Instruction: Receive guidance from experienced pottery instructors.
  •  All Necessary Materials: Everything you need to create a little mushroom character.
  •  Firing Services: Your finished creation will be dried, glaze dipped (clear top coat) and fired to perfection - ready to pick up in 4 weeks time.
Why Join:
  •  Therapeutic Experience: Engage in the meditative process of working with clay, promoting relaxation and creativity.
  •  Community Connection: Share the studio space with fellow pottery enthusiasts and fungi lovers, fostering connections and creative inspiration.
