Join the Leach Pottery this Summer Holiday with a collection of creative opportunities for all to have a go at making with clay. Workshops take inspiration from the museum collection and take a playful approach.
Young Potter’s Throwing
Have a go on a Potter’s Wheel. Find out how potters at Leach Pottery throw on a wheel and try for yourself.
Snakes and Ladders
Snakes, Ladders, dice, chess, and draughts. Take inspiration from the animals and forms across the Leach Pottery collection as you make figures and invent your own board games.
Clay Station
A collection of play-based activities, in the Leach Pottery Museum, garden, exploring the balance between clay and the senses.
Make with Leach: Tea Set
Each session will focus on a different element of a tea set, and participants will be led through how to hand-build the form.
Summer Sketching Kit
Every day across August, collect a kit of sketch materials including graphite, charcoal, and chalk to sketch the pots in the museum. Use the sketching prompts or take your own lead.

We’re joining St Ives Library for The Summer Reading Challenge 2025 ‘Story Garden’, taking reading to the great outdoors.
