Clay Workshop, Slab Building Wall Hangings

Thursday 23rd July 2026 6pm – 8pm – £25 a ticket Join local artist Jess Swift in this pottery and sip session. Spend the evening learning the basics of slab building with clay. You’ll roll out clay, cut shapes, and piece them together to create your own wall hanging. Once the form is made, you will then create decorations using previously learnt pottery building techniques. The freedom is yours to create your own decorations, with Jess on hand to advise and help. You will take home your creations at the end of the workshop to dry at home, and you can either leave them plain or decorate them at home! No experience needed, just come in clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy! *Please note – the air dry clay we will be using has nylon fibres inside* *Also note – Since we are using air dry clay, these vases will be decorative or home plastic plants only* We are offering three different workshops, all exploring different clay techniques. Find more information about the other workshops on our website. Click here to book!
