Pottery Workshop – Make a Cat or Dog

Description

• Priced per person – maximum of 4 people per workshop
• Date & time to suit you, subject to my availability
• Session length is 2 – 2.5 hours
• Adults, teens & older kids only (please see below / check before booking if unsure)
• I’ll contact you to arrange your day/time slot after payment

You’re welcome to tell me your preferred date/time first so I can check prior to booking. Daytime/evening and weekend sessions to suit (subject to my availability of course – some weekends I am busy at events).

You don’t need any prior pottery experience – I take you through making your chosen animal using simple templates and explaining the handbuilding techniques step by step, so that you create your very own ceramic cat or dog.

Once you’ve formed your animal, you’ll finish by adding pattern and texture to decorate.

You’ll leave your 4 legged creation with me to slowly dry out before it goes through it’s first firing, I then add a black wash to bring out the pattern and texture you’ve added, before glazing and firing the piece again.

Please note that the drying and firing processes take a number of weeks to complete. I’ll let you know when your new four legged friend is ready for collection, or I can arrange delivery for a small additional charge. Typical timescale is 6-8 weeks after your workshop.

This session is not suitable for younger children – please check with me prior to booking to confirm suitability for your young people. Comprehensive school age upwards works best really. All children must be accompanied / supervised throughout. We use some sharp tools.
