Clay Plant Pot & Dish Pottery Workshop 2025
Join us with friends or enjoy some ‘me-time’ as you decorate a beautiful clay plant pot & dish (hand-thrown by our master potter, Sean ahead of your workshop). This is a 1.5- 2 hour workshop, where you’ll incise/mark your own design into our leather-hard clay using the tools provided. Once finished, we’ll fire your creations in your chosen Denby Kiln glaze colour. Collect when ready to brighten up your home.
PRICE: £40.00 per person - This adult (Over 18 yrs) craft workshop is perfect for all abilities and is fully accessible to everyone.
What to expect on the day:
This workshop will provide you with plenty of design inspiration, a short demonstration on how to incise (decorate with pencil cuts) the leather-hard clay and equip you with all the tools you need to decorate your unique plant pot and dish. Our friendly Experience team will also be on hand to help guide you through this session.
You are more than welcome to come prepared with your own design ideas, patterns or drawings too.
On the day, you’ll sketch your design onto paper templates, and we'll then take you through the steps to decorate your plant pot & dish using a pencil to achieve the desired look. This is a calm and relaxing process that will provide a little quiet time.
You can also choose to add a functional drainage hole to the bottom of your plant pot or leave this sealed to use the pot and dish separately around your home (as a storage pot or trinket dish etc).
Once finished, you can choose between 4 Denby Kiln glaze colours: taupe, ochre, slate and rust for us to glaze and fire in our kilns.
A FREE hot drink is also included.
This workshop is the perfect way to spend time with friends, to enjoy some 'me-time' or to unleash your inner designer - we hope to see you there!
CRAFTING TIME: Please meet at the Denby Craft Studio & Welcome Desk ready for your workshop to promptly start. This is a 1.5-hour workshop. Please note that all bookings need to be booked up to 48 hours in advance.
WHO’S IT FOR: This adult craft workshop is perfect for all abilities and is fully accessible to everyone.
NOTES: All materials, including an apron, will be provided on the day. As you will be working with clay, we recommend wearing something that you don't mind getting dirty.
Tip: If you are coming prepared with a design, our paper templates rectangles measure 21cm (w) x 10cm (h) as this will be roughly the size of the plant pot, and a 12cm paper circle for the plant dish.
A free hot drink is also included, which can be enjoyed on the day in Bourne’s Coffee Shop & Bistro.
Please note that on occasion, clay work may crack or break in the kiln firing process, and this is beyond our control. In the unfortunate event that this should happen we will contact you and advise of the options available.
