About this Event
Children’s Pottery Workshop (Ages 6–11)
With Optional Parent Support
A joyful, hands-on pottery workshop designed especially for junior school–aged children, where young makers can explore clay, creativity and confidence in a calm, nurturing studio environment.
Children will be guided through simple hand-building pottery techniques, encouraged to experiment, express themselves and create their own unique ceramic piece to take home.
Parents and carers are very welcome to stay and support their child, particularly for younger children or those who may benefit from gentle encouragement. To ensure the session remains fully child-focused, adults attend in a supporting role only and do not create their own pottery during the workshop.
