About this event
Join Megan (she/her) from Clay Wild Studio, for a relaxing, joyful queer pottery workshop! The class will be focusing on traditional hand-building techniques using minimal tools and is suitable for all levels.
The class focuses on traditional hand-building techniques and you will be guided through how to personalise your creations.
You will make 2 items during the class, a pot (suitable for plants, candles etc.) and a dish (great as a soap dish, coaster, trinket dish etc.). At the end, you will receive tips on how to decorate them at home when dry!
We will be working with air-drying clay, so please note the products will not be food or drink-safe. However, it can be waterproofed to hold plants.
No experience necessary - suitable for all levels!
Your clay will still be delicate upon completion, so boxes/bags will be provided to take your clay home in.
