Monsters & Fairies: A Hand-Building Pottery Class for Kids & Parents

Ever wanted to sculpt your own fantasy creature? Now's your chance, grab your favourite grown-up and get hands-on with clay!

In this 2.5-hour hand-building pottery class, kids aged 7+ and their accompanying parent will team up (each making their own pieces!) to sculpt monsters, fairies, or wild fantasy creatures of their own imagination. No pottery experience needed!

You'll be guided step-by-step through core hand-building and sculpting techniques. Whether you dream up a scaly, horned monster or a delicate winged fairy, this class is all about creative freedom paired with real skill-building.

What you'll do:

• Learn hand-building techniques: pinch pots, coiling, joining, and texture work

• Follow a guided step-by-step demonstration

• Sculpt up to 2 pieces each

• Get hands dirty alongside your child (or parent!) for a shared creative experience

• Take a break halfway through for snacks and a breather

What's included:

• All clay and use of sculpting tools

• Bisque firing of your finished piece(s)

• Snacks during the break

• Expert guidance throughout
