Pottery Gonks & GnomesCreate your very own magical gonk or garden gnome. Inspired by Scandinavian folklore this mysterious creature will surely add a magical touch to your home or garden.
During this 3-hour workshop we will be making a gonk or gnome from stoneware clay using slap building techniques and coiling. We will first make their stout round body from a cylinder and then a tall pointy hat from a cone. You can then add the choice of your own design of beard with coils. Either make it a full, fluffy beard or an intricate curly designer beard! If you wish you can then cut shapes out of the hat so you can put your gonk over a tealight.
Samples will be shown with all techniques demonstrated and explained. As we're building using stoneware clay you could create gonk or gnome that will be perfectly safe for your garden.
Aimed at beginners and those building on their pottery techniques and experience.
Please note the items cannot be taken home on the day. Your gonks will need to be dried, fired and glazed. They will be ready to collect at your convenience from the venue 2-3 weeks later.
Class includes:
• All materials and equipment
• Step by step instructions and demonstrations
• Choice of glaze colours
• Refreshments and festive nibbles
• 10% OFF in our gift shop on the day
