Charm Workshop
Design and handbuild your own ceramic charm — a small pendant or keychain made entirely by you, to take home and keep.
Start with a short drawing and design session to figure out what you want to make — a pendant, a keychain, a character, a creature — then move into the clay. We'll demo the key techniques (rolling, hollowing, and score and slip joining) before you get started on your own piece.
Paint your charms within the session using a selection of underglazes and slips, and take home up to 3 finished pieces after they've been fired.
A lovely one to do with a friend, or as a quiet solo creative session. Makes a meaningful handmade gift — for yourself or someone else.
