Welcome to Clay Wild's Pottery & Prosecco class at The Bedford!
Join Megan (she/her), founder of Clay Wild, for a fun pottery workshop at The Bedford. Suitable for all levels - come along to grab a drink & get creative. Take away a pot or two at the end of the class 💖 One glass of prosecco per person is included!
About the class:
The class focuses on traditional hand-building techniques & you will be guided through how to personalise your creations.
At the end, you will receive tips on how to decorate at home when dry. We will be working with air-drying clay, so please note the products will not be food or drink-safe. However, it can be waterproofed to hold plants.
No experience necessary - suitable for all levels!
Your clay will still be delicate upon completion, so boxes/bags will be provided to take your clay home in. You can also bring your own box if you wish to help save materials - a tub or a small box (approx shoe box size) is ideal.
Each month there will be an opportunity to build on your skills & make something new.
