About Pottery: Harvest Jug

Friday 11 September 2026
10.30 - 3.30pm

Join our Watts Potter Michelle Shields to hand build a special harvest jug, with slip decoration and sgraffito.

You will learn to pinch, coil and slab build your piece using terracotta clay. Finishing with either traditional white or colourful slips of your choice before scratching your design into the surface.

Finished by the studio potter with a clear glaze to create a fully functioning harvest jug.

I really value being able to take part in these workshops at Watts. I love making in 3D and although very familiar with clay it isn't something I can do at home. I will continue to come to workshops and having mentioned it to others will be bringing interested friends.
