Join Sappho Events for a relaxing pottery workshop led by artist Megan Elliott, focusing on traditional hand-building techniques using minimal tools.
Date: 6 December, 7-9pm
Location: The Common Press, Glass House, London (118 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 6DG). The nearest station is Shoreditch High Street Overground
Price: £30 (you will take home 1-2 new clay creations!)
Participants will learn how to make a pinch pot out of air-drying clay and will be guided through how to personalise their new creations - pinch pots can be used as dishes, plant pots, to hold candles etc., and would make the perfect gift for a loved one (or yourself) for Christmas. We'll also be learning how to make Christmas decorations! At the end of the class, participants should have one pinch pot and a few decorations to take away with them, and tips on how to decorate at home when dry.
No experience necessary - suitable for all levels!
Your clay will still be delicate upon completion, so please bring a little box or container to carry your creation home. A tub or a small box (approx shoe box size) is ideal.
