Making Animals – Hand-Building Pottery Workshop
Discover the joy of working with clay in this fun and friendly half-day pottery workshop. Making Animals is a hands-on taster session designed to introduce you to the basics of hand-building while creating your own charming animal sculpture.

Led by ceramicist Charlotte, you’ll learn the pinching technique and be guided step by step as you shape clay into a small-scale animal of your choice. Whether you follow one of Charlotte’s reference images or bring your own idea, this workshop is all about creativity, play, and learning through making.

With a small group size, you’ll enjoy plenty of individual guidance in a relaxed and supportive studio environment. No previous experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
