Book Now

Connect with ancient folklore on this ceramics taster and welcome the spirit of nature by creating your own Green Man ceramic mask, along with the guidance of local Ceramicist Abbie Brewer of Sunshine Child.

You’ll begin with a short introduction to the basic techniques, followed by hands-on guidance to sculpt leafy faces from clay. You’ll learn basic ceramic hand-building techniques, how to add character through surface details and coloured slip.
Work will be glazed and fired through our kiln and available to collect approximately 3 weeks after the workshop.

    Who is the workshop for?

    This taster session is suitable for adults who are complete beginners in ceramics, or for those who wish to refresh their previous knowledge. The session will be taught in a step by step way, along with tutor advice and guidance.

    Do I need to bring anything?

    All materials, equipment and tools will be provided. We recommend wearing old clothes or bringing an apron in case you get a bit messy! If you have long hair please tie it back.

    Workshop and course bookings can be cancelled and refunded (less a 10% administration fee) up until 7 days before the scheduled start date. Our workshops support the work we do as a charity, and because materials and equipment are ordered in advance, we regret that refunds cannot be offered less than 7 days before the workshop date.

In the event that The Art House needs to cancel a workshop for any reason, for example due to tutor illness, your ticket will be refunded in full.
