Join Sappho Events for a relaxing pottery workshop led by artist Megan Elliott - festive edition! The class will focus on traditional hand-building techniques and you'll learn how to make and personalise simple candle holders, pinch pots and festive tree decorations.

Date: Monday 20 December, 6:30-8:30pm

Location: The Commons, Glass House, London (118 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 6DG). The nearest station is Shoreditch High Street Overground

Price: £30 (you will take home 2-4 new clay creations!)

By the end of the class, you’ll have a candle holder, small pot and at least 2 tree decorations to take away with you and tips on how to decorate these at home when dry. The candle holder will be for a long-stick candle and the small pot is perfect as a little storage vessel (e.g. for jewellery) or can also be used to pour candles into or for small succulents/plants. 

No experience necessary - suitable for all levels!

NOTE: Your clay will still be delicate upon completion, so please bring a little box or container to carry your creations home. A tub or two, cardboard box or shoe box is perfect, but we will also have newspaper to wrap them in if needed.
