Tomorrow. Clay. Make something with your hands.

Dee Noble's running a Play with Clay workshop on Saturday 7th February, 10am-12pm. You'll learn pinch techniques to make thumb pots, then explore how to turn multiple pots into animals. It's tactile, surprisingly meditative, and genuinely satisfying.

No experience necessary – Dee guides you through each step. Whether you've never touched clay before or you're looking to try something new this weekend, this is a good way to spend a Saturday morning.

You'll leave with something you actually made, plus the knowledge of basic ceramic techniques you can use again.

What's included: All materials. Everything you need to create your work.

£25 per person
