Make Your Own Gonk

Join us at the V21 Pottery for a memorable, creative experience making your own Gonk.

Our V21 Pottery studio is located at the V21 Sbectrwm Centre in Fairwater, Cardiff. Overlooking our community garden it's a peaceful, relaxed space to get creative with clay and a great way to spend a Saturday. Our sessions are fun and friendly, and suitable for complete beginners and more experienced potters alike. Under the guidance of our expert instructors you will learn various pottery techniques and gain hands-on experience in sculpting and glazing your Gonk. Unleash your creativity as you mould the clay into adorable shapes and give your Gonk its unique personality.

You will also have the opportunity to return to the studio to glaze your Gonk, choosing from a variety of vibrant colours and learning different glazing techniques.
