Welcome to Clay Wild's Pottery class at Fuggles Beer Cafe!
Join Megan (she/her), founder of Clay Wild, for a fun pottery workshop at Fuggles Beer Cafe, Tunbridge Wells. 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 house beer or wine 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. Each month there will be an opportunity to build on your skills & make something new.
Dates and Times: Sunday 23rd June 3-5pm / Sunday 28th July 3-5pm
Location: Fuggles Beer Cafe, 28 Grosvenor Road, Tunbridge Wells
