We run a variety of fun and creative group pottery workshops throughout the year where you can get your creative juices flowing. You will learn to make a range of unique pieces to treasure. Workshops include those aimed at adults and older children where you will make more complex projects such as tea light houses and animal sculpture, and shorter fun workshops for all ages offering tasters on the pottery wheel and hand building all sorts of unique creations.
Join us at Living Crafts at Hatfield House on 9th-12th May 2024. Workshops are pre-bookable on their website.
Group Workshops
We love to offer a variety of one-off workshops where you can make a range of exciting pottery projects in a sociable group setting. Examples of our workshops include animal sculpture, tea light houses, vases, seasonal decorations, mugs and more. If you have a particular project in mind or something you would like to make in a workshop please let us know.
In the workshops you will learn a range of creative pottery techniques, in handbuilding and the pottery wheel, enabling you to make and glaze your unique piece ready for firing to a high standard. There is a large selection of inspirational materials; images, forms, tools, textures, glazes and colours to spark your imagination and make your work stand out.
Workshops are great for adults and accompanied children over 7 unless otherwise specified.
Family Classes
These classes are great for all ages; adults and children. Classes are project based, learning to make a variety of seasonal creations such as model animals, planters, Halloween and Christmas decorations, bedroom name plates and lots more! You can also opt to add a wheel throwing taster where available.
You can either use air-drying clay where you can take your creations home at the end of the session for painting or for an extra special pottery piece you can glaze your pieces with a huge range of colours and these can be fired for a later collection (usually takes around a month).
At the end of this fun clay adventure, everyone will have their own pottery creation to take home and cherish, as well as some new found pottery making skills.
