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.
Create seahorses, turtles, fish, shells or other wonders from under the sea.
Use leaves and flowers to make impressions into the surface of the flay, making them into beautiful small bowls.
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.
Learn how to make a special paint palette of your very own.
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 availableYour 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. This will take around 4 - 6 weeks, weather and other factors depending
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.
