Tues 7 July/26 School hols pottery workshop - make a cup.

School Holiday Pottery Workshops 

Looking for a fun, creative activity these school holidays? Come play with clay and make your very own ceramic cup!

In this relaxed pottery workshop rangatahi will learn how to hand-build a cup using an easy slab-building technique. Add one or two handles (or none at all!), carve patterns, stamp your name, or create cool textures to make your cup truly one-of-a-kind.

After firing we will hand paint your cup with a blue underglaze to enhance your design and finally add a clear glossy glaze to finish. 

No experience needed — this workshop is perfect for beginners who love being creative and getting their hands messy.
