Clay Workshop for Adults

Saturday 19th October 10am-12.30pm.

Join us for our clay workshop with local artist Anita Oakley hosted in the relaxing Communigrow yurt in the peaceful countryside of East Malling.

Hand build three items of your very own design over a two and a half hour session, taking inspiration from the beautiful flowers and plants around you. You will dip into slab work, coiling, pinch pots and wherever your imagination takes you.

Your three creations will be taken off to be bisque fired and then glaze fired in a choice of blue, green or white for collection at a later date.

Bring an apron, rolling pin (optional) and your imagination. Tea/coffee included.

Please note these sessions are for adults or young people aged 14 and over only.

Under 16s must be accompanied by a participating adult.
