Sculpt a Ceramic Gonk Workshop

Step into a world of folklore and festive creativity at this cosy adult clay workshop, where you’ll sculpt your very own ceramic gonk - a whimsical, Nordic-inspired figure rooted in centuries-old tradition.

A gonk?
In Scandinavian and Nordic folklore, gonks are mischievous but kind-hearted creatures believed to protect homes and bring good luck during the long winter months. Often likened to gnomes or hobgoblins, these festive characters are recognised by:
• A bulbous nose
• A tall, pointy hat (usually pulled low to hide their eyes)
• A long white beard

All items will be fired and will be ready for collection in time for your festive celebrations.

This is a two-hour workshop, suitable for adults.

Booking required, £15.
