A FAMILY POTTERY SESSION


CLAY PLAY

Bring your favourite people and get your hands into clay! Join us at Henfield Pottery for a relaxed half-term workshop inspired by the shapes, textures and seasonal themed of autumn.

Choose from our autumn-inspired examples, then make them your own. You’ll have 90 minutes to shape, press, decorate and create one small pottery piece each, with friendly guidance along the way.

Grown-ups get to join in too. It’s a chance to spend time together, try something creative and make a keepsake to treasure.

Text graphic that reads 'WHAT TO EXPECT' in large, dark green letters.

A relaxed 90 minutes of getting creative with clay, inspired by nature!

We’ll start with a short demonstration before you choose from our nature themed examples and create your own small pottery piece. Explore textures, add patterns and decorate with a little colour, with our tutor on hand to guide you.

Adults and children make together, with grown ups helping younger makers along the way. No pottery experience is needed, and there’s plenty of room to add your own ideas.

Your £15 ticket includes all materials, decoration, glazing and firing of one small piece. Afterwards, your creations will stay with us to dry and be fired. We’ll email when they’re ready to collect, usually around four to six weeks later.

  • Please wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dusty.

  • Closed-toe shoes are recommended.

  • Long hair tied back.

  • Fingernails are best kept fairly short when working with clay.

  • Children must be supervised at all times.

  • Your work will need time to dry and be fired after the course. We'll let you know as soon as it's ready to collect.
