NEW Ceramic Seed Pod Workshop
New Ceramic Seed Pod Workshop!
Enjoy a relaxing and creative session at Denby as you shape your own beautiful ceramic seed pod, a unique piece to display at home or in the garden.
Using our Derbyshire clay and guided by one of our experienced potters, you’ll learn the pinch pot technique to form the shape of your piece. You can then refine it with gentle curves and add surface detail using a variety of tools to create texture and character.
To finish, you’ll brush on a soft colour wash that gives a natural, matt effect and brings out the clay’s rustic beauty. Once complete, we’ll take care of the firing process in our pottery. Your finished ceramic seed pod will be ready to collect a few weeks later.
- No experience necessary
- All tools and materials included
- A free hot drink to enjoy on the day
- A relaxed, small-group workshop led by Denby potters
Limited spaces available – early booking recommended.
PRICE: £40.00 per person - This adult (over 18 yrs) craft workshop is perfect for all experience levels and is fully accessible to everyone.
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 tickets need to be booked in advance.
NOTES: All materials, including an apron, will be provided on the day. As you will be working with clay and glazes, 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 4 - 6 weeks).
