Animal Pinch Pot Workshop - A playful clay workshop for all ages

Step into the studio for a magical, hands-on workshop with Melissa where imagination leads the way! In this joyful class, you'll learn how to create your very own animal pinch pots - from sleepy foxes and tiny elephants to quirky crabs, owls, turtles, and any creature your heart dreams up.

Perfect for beginners, kids, families, and anyone who loves cute things, this workshop gently introduces you to the foundations of hand-building.

With your 500gms of clay, you'll explore how to:
Form a classic pinch pot
Shape and sculpt character features
Add ears, tails, paws, shells, wings - whatever brings your creature to life

Your finished animal will be glazed in the colour of your choice (you can select from studio glazes) and fired in the kiln, ready to collect a few weeks later - a whimsical little friend to keep, gift, or treasure forever.

Whether you arrive with an idea or discover your creature as you go, you'll leave with newfound clay skills and a whole lot of smiles.
