Every Sunday, 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.

Themes will change fortnightly, inspired by Watts Gallery's rich heritage of pottery, current exhibitions and contemporary influence (as well as lots of fun and imagination). Take part in a one-off workshop or build Clay Club in as a regular part of your family's creative time together.

Choose a theme which suits you:

16 and 23 November
Create a small, festive cup perfect for a warming hot chocolate this winter. Personalize it with simple decoration techniques, adding a charming seasonal touch that you can enjoy throughout the holidays.

30 November and 7 December
In this session, participants will create their own ceramic jigsaw inspired by the Indian-style clothing worn by the Pattle Sisters. Using clay and textured stamps, they’ll design and decorate their tiles with unique patterns, turning them into playful, decorative jigsaws to take home.

14 and 21 December
At Watts Gallery, visitors will see and hear many birds - robins hopping along the paths, blackbirds in the trees, or in Mary’s work, pelicans, owls, and peacocks. Participants will choose a bird to create out of clay, exploring form and texture in a playful way.

Clay available
Your family will have the option to choose from air-dry clay (to take home with you on the day) or terracotta clay (that will need to be fired in our kiln). If you choose terracotta clay for firing, we will contact you when the works are ready for collection.
