Weekend • Open Clay
Once a month, on the second weekend, we run Open Clay — an all-ages pottery workshops for local families and our community.
These relaxed, informal session is offered on a “pay per clay” basis to keep it as affordable and accessible as possible. Your ticket includes a set volume of clay to work with — and we encourage you to go slowly with this precious earth material — should you wish to make more pieces, more clay is available to purchase on the day.
Adults Session
You can follow along and learn the ancient practice of pinching clay to create a cup, a plate or set of two little vessels – or use your imagination and create anything you want.
Your ticket includes your clay plus glazing and firing for up to two pieces. We glaze all work created in Open Clay in a transparent glaze so your final piece will appear a warm brown. Your work will be ready to collect around a month later.
Children and Families Session
Open clay is best for ages 4+ but if your younger one might enjoy the tactile experience or you have any questions, please get in touch.
Each families session will teach a different, seasonal theme such as imprinting clay with flowers, or making tiny animals however your child is always welcome to create anything they want.
Each person making requires one ticket. If you would just like to watch your child create, then just book one space on the families session. If you would like to make something as well, please book yourself a ticket.
Their ticket includes the firing and glazing of their favourite piece at the end of the session. We glaze all work created in Open Clay in a transparent glaze so their final piece will appear a warm brown. Their work will be ready to collect around a month later.
