This event is part of Neighbourhood Circle Nights, happening at the Immigration Museum during August and Sept 23.

Come and explore the world of pottery and clay modelling!

Maddy will guide you through an introduction to pottery, supporting you to make your own piece of pottery art from air-dry clay.

You might like to make an engraved plate, a little pinch pot or both!

At the end of the workshop you will walk away with new skills and a hand made object to gift to a friend or adorn your home!

All materials included in this workshop - just come and have a wonderful time!

What will we cover?

In this fun, hands-on workshop you will learn how to:

Condition our clay
Work with air-dry clay to make objects
Design and shape clay
Stamp, emboss, engrave into clay
Attaching pieces of clay correctly for strength

What to bring?

All materials are covered in the ticket price.

Have a think about what you might like to create, and also about how to transport this home. It can be really useful to bring along an empty tupperware container and shopping bag to transport your clay work home safely.
