Price: £35 General Admission, 15% of profits going to Brighton Women's Centre. Some lower-income spots available for this class at £25. Please only reserve one of these spots if you feel this applies to you. No proof required. If the spots are sold out and you would like to attend but are unable to afford a ticket, please contact me directly. There is an option to add a pay-it-forward donation to contribute towards the cost of these spots and to enable me to offer more low-income spots in the future.
About the class:
Participants will learn how to make a pinch pot and a coil pot out of air-drying clay and will be guided through how to personalise their new creations.
At the end of the class, participants should have two small finished pots to take away with them and tips on how to decorate these at home when dry. These pots are perfect as little storage vessels or ornaments and can also be used for succulents/small plants.
No experience necessary - suitable for all levels! This is a class prioritising joy, embodiment and creativity in a safe, sober space.
A selection of herbal teas & vegan snacks will be provided. Small boxes will be available for you to take your clay creations home in.
