New Clay Fish Workshop 2025
Creative Clay Fish Workshop
Join us for a relaxing and hands-on workshop where you’ll make your very own pair of ceramic fish — one big, one little — using our Derbyshire stoneware clay, pottery tools, and colourful slips. No experience needed, just come along and enjoy some creative time out.
Price: £40.00 per person
For adults (18+) — suitable for all skill levels and fully accessible
What to Expect on the day: The session begins with a friendly demonstration from our team, showing you the steps and techniques you’ll use throughout the workshop. We’ll guide you through the process with plenty of tips and ideas, perfect whether you’re new to clay or just looking to try something different.
You’ll use slab-building techniques to shape and decorate your own set of two clay fish.
Follow our easy-to-use templates and add detail and texture with our decorating tools, then take a break for a cuppa before moving on to the fun part - colour! Use our vibrant clay slips to bring your fish to life with your own unique design or we have lots of ideas to inspire you.
After the session, we’ll kiln-fire your creations for you to collect at a later date to display at home as a reminder of your time with us.
Our team will be on hand throughout to support and inspire you - come solo or with family and friends to enjoy this creative, feel-good experience.
CRAFTING TIME: Please meet at the Denby Craft Studio & Welcome Desk ready for your workshop to promptly start. This is a 3 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 and paint, we advise you to wear something that you don't mind getting dirty.
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.
We will contact you when your creations are ready to collect (within 5 - 6 weeks)
