Join The Touring Potter team for a creative pottery workshop this May half term!
There will be opportunity to use the potters wheel as well as hand-build with clay! At the end of the workshop, our team will take the handcrafted items back to the studio where they will be fired in the kiln. Your teen will select a glaze colour to have their items finished in.
After the firing process has taken place the amazing clay creations will be dropped at Forest Arts Centre for collection. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
When: Wednesday 28 May 10-11am
What to wear: Please dress for mess :) Coffee and snacks are available from our lovely cafe!
