Handbuilding Pottery Workshop

£40.00

Date: Friday 10th April - 12-2pm

Unleash your creativity and make whatever your heart desires!

Join us for a completely open-ended pottery workshop where YOU decide what to create. Whether you've got a specific project in mind or want to explore different techniques, this workshop is your opportunity to bring your vision to life with clay.

What You'll Do:

This is your creative playground! You can make:

  • Bowls, plates, or mugs

  • Vases or planters

  • Trinket dishes or jewellery holders

  • Decorative sculptures or figurines

  • Wall hangings or tiles

  • Whatever inspires you!

We'll guide you through various hand-building techniques including:

  • Pinch pot construction

  • Coil building

  • Slab building

  • Texture and surface decoration

  • Shaping and smoothing techniques

  • Adding details and personal touches

What's Included:

✓ 2 hours of creative studio time

✓ All clay and materials

✓ Expert guidance and tuition throughout

✓ Use of all tools and equipment

✓ Professional glazing and kiln firing

Glazing Options:

Choose ONE glaze colour for your piece(s) - we'll glaze and fire it for you at no extra cost!

OR upgrade to return for a pottery painting session to add detailed decoration and multiple colours (+£5)

Collection:

Your finished piece(s) will be ready for collection in approximately 6-8 weeks after professional glazing and firing.

Perfect For:

  • Anyone wanting creative freedom

  • Making personalised gifts

  • Trying pottery for the first time

  • Experienced makers wanting studio time

  • Creating something specific you have in mind

  • Exploring different hand-building techniques

  • Therapeutic creative time

What to Expect:

This workshop is relaxed and self-directed with expert support. Come with ideas or discover them as you go! We'll help you achieve your vision, troubleshoot challenges, and guide you through techniques. The only limit is your imagination (and the laws of physics with clay!)

Please Note:

  • Wear comfortable clothes that can get messy

  • Clay is unpredictable - we can't guarantee perfect results but we'll guide you to give your piece the best chance!

  • Aprons provided

  • Bring your creativity and sense of fun!

Important Information:

Pottery takes approximately 6-8 weeks to fire - these are estimates only and may take longer. You'll be emailed from hello@firenest.co.uk when ready with self-collection details. Items must be collected within 30 days or will be disposed of. Due to the nature of high-temperature firing, perfect results cannot be guaranteed and we don't provide refunds for firing outcomes, though we always try to help resolve issues where possible.
