Taster Throwing Experience - £45
​
Join Maisie The Touring Potter for a taster throwing experience.
Spend 1.5 hours bending, forming and sculpting this magical mud into 2 little hand thrown pots or bowls. The class will begin with a introduction to the ceramic process and informative demonstration. Next you will be shown how to prepare your clay before taking to the potters wheel.
Maisie will provide plenty of advice and guidance whilst you are working. The class is suitable for ages 10 years plus however all abilities are welcome. At the end of the session you will be able to choose from a selection of artisan glazes to have your pieces finished in.
The pots and bowls will be taken back to Dorset where they will be allowed to dry before firing them. The first firing is to 1000 degrees they will then be dipped into your chosen colour before being fired for a second time to 1250 degrees. This process could take up to 8 weeks. On the very rare occasion that your pot cracks or breaks at any stage I will make you a replacement. Aprons will be provided but you will want to wear clothes you don't mind getting a little messy. Short nails and long hair tied up is advised.
​
Tea, coffee and chocolate included.

Botanical Pottery Workshop - £65
​
Get inspired by the beautiful setting at the Garden Room Crafts and in this botanical-themed pottery workshop!
​
In this workshop we will be using a variety of foraged leaves and flowers to create beautiful organic patterns. The focus will be on slab rolling, designing and pressing seasonal plants into the clay and then using hump moulds to form your slabs into dishes. We will also be making pinch pot bowls pressed around moulds and using leaf inlays to decorate. This is a very mindful and relaxed workshop suitable for beginners to more advanced makers.
​
These pieces will be dried and fired at my studio and the oxide and glazes applied. Each person will make a matching bowl and plate set. These will be ready to collect in 4-weeks time at the Garden Room Crafts. I will have a selection of plants you can use but you are also advised to bring your own plants or leaves from your garden for more personalised designs! It is best to store fresh plants in sealed tupperwares in the fridge for freshness.
​
Tea, coffee and chocolate included.
