Small group Pottery class / JULY 20th : making for your garden, 2hrs
🪴 You will join a small group (max of four people) and build colourful & imaginative cane toppers for your garden. Useful for blunting the ends of eye level canes, decorating or providing drinking places for insects. we’ll add some plant markers too!
🐞 Held at my level access riverside studio near Woolwich with good buses or free parking (Thamesside Studios, https://www.thames-sidestudios.co.uk).
🌸 Enjoy a small friendly group with close tuition in a professional fully equipped studio. You’ll use studio grade materials & effective tools in my studio workspace. Bring your own photos / drawings / inspiration or share what I will have on hand to inspire petals, leaves, vines, seed pods etc.
🌼 We’ll work together to make simple hand built forms with decorative tops that will sit in your green space with function or decoratively. Add flower petals, leaves, insects - bring along some snap shots from the natural world for inspiration or create from your imagination. I’ll teach robust hand building and construction and then be on hand to offer help on your work surviving the kiln and having practical use in a garden space. Build as many as time allows!
🌈 When we’re built we’ll add bright colour with ceramic stains, I will nurse through the first firing and then glaze in transparent to brighten the colour.
🪴 Price includes the session, all materials & use of tools, finishing after bisque, stains glaze & firing.
☀️ Collection to be arranged, your work should be ready in around 4 weeks.
🪴 DBS checked & certified, public liability insured.
🪴 My workbench is 90cms high, older calm & supervised children are warmly welcomed but ensure your child can remain comfortable at a work station for this long and is tall enough to work at this height.
This is a stood workshop, let me know if this is difficult, I can set up a seated space if I know in advance & I have a stool you can rest on at the stood bench too. The studio has level access and toilet integral. Do let me know at point of booking if you have any additional learner needs.
🪴 Also available to book your own group of up to four on a specific date or for larger groups in a different and very nice space [which I hire & book] at Thamesside Studios, let me know how many you're intending to book for and I can quote & check this availability. Corporate activity / hen do's / special family gathering are all great in this lovely setting.
