Are looking to learn a new skill and unleash your creativity? Join our pottery hand-building workshop and immerse yourself in the art of ceramics. In this pottery class, you will discover how to create beautiful and functional pottery pieces from scratch using hand-building techniques. From clay preparation to shaping and molding, you will learn all the essential skills needed to craft your own unique pottery pieces.
Detailed description:Experiment with making ceramics in this two-hour class all about hand-building pottery. Dive hands-first into a refreshing new hobby and learn plenty of beginner tips and tricks for making your own clay creations.
You will be taught hand-building basic like how to make a pinch pot, how to coil with clay, how to attach handles, legs etc. and how to make sure your pieces won’t blow up in the kiln! You’ll leave having created whatever your heart desires, anything from a mug to a vase, a bowl to a platter… We are here to help you so let your imagination take over.
Hosted in the beautiful village of Stagsden with plenty of support. Plus, complimentary tea and cake are offered during the class.
Your beautiful pieces will then be fired and glazed on your behalf for you to pick up around three-four weeks later in Kempston (MK42). Posting is also an option if you can’t collect your pieces in person. The glaze types will be chosen at the workshop.
Hi, I'm Phoebe and I run Fire Nest alongside my partner Will. We run a variety of different Craft Workshops including Candle Making, Pottery Hand-Building, Bath Bomb Making, Perfumery and much more. Alongside this, we also sell Hand-Crafted At Home Craft Kits and hand-made products.
We started our business back in 2019, and within 5 months we decided to both go full-time due to the demand and it is the best decision we've ever made!
We look forward to hosting you soon.
We host our Workshops in a few different locations, for groups of up to 6 people we host these at our Home Studio based in Kempston, Bedfordshire. For groups of 10 and above, we host these in the quaint village of Stagsden at Stagsden Village Hall.
We also host Private Workshops where we can host the Workshop in the comfort of your own home for groups of 2+ within Bedfordshire. We do also love to travel with our Workshops, so we can still host for you outside of Bedfordshire, we just charge a small mileage fee per mile.
