Join our Watts Gallery potter for Clay Club! As a family, get hands on and messy with clay. Wedge, carve, mould, roll, sculpt and create ceramic masterpieces.
Inspired by Watts Gallery's rich heritage of pottery, current exhibitions and contemporary influences.
Experiment with texture, coils and moulds to make decorative tiles or a name sign for your room.
Learn to make a pot using both pinch and coil techniques, working with the coils to make intricate patterns taking inspiration from the work of Mary Watts.
Come and get creative with clay as you make your very own decorative portrait pot, inspired by the colourful and characterful tradition of Mexican face pots.
Using clay, you’ll sculpt a unique face onto your pot, adding expressive features, textures and personality to create a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Think quirky faces, bold details and lots of character!
Create your own decorative 3D pumpkins using terracotta clay, ready to light up your Halloween displays.
Hand built expressive monsters with decorative slips to add a splish of colour.
Create your own coiled sweetie jar with a pinch pot ghostly lid. These will be finished with a white glaze for you.
Clay availablePlease note air-dry clay will be used in these sessions so that you can take your creations home with you on the day.
Our workshops are designed for families to enjoy together.
Skip the queues and take the hassle out of lunch. When you book your tickets, you can pre-book a picnic box to collect during your visit, ready for you to grab and go straight out onto the lawn.
