About this Event

Pots can be made with pale pastels or vibrant shades, block colours or fantastic marbled effects. You’ll get to try a type of Jesmonite that will set by the end of the session, as well as another type that will set the next day and has a much more organic look.

In this session, you'll learn how to weigh it, mix it, add colours and textural effects, as well as try a variety of geometric and recycled moulds to create a pot unique to you.

All materials are provided. No experience necessary.

There’s also another Jesmonite workshop earlier in the day where participants will create their own coaster– find out more here: Jesmonite Coasters Tickets, Sun, Apr 26, 2026 at 10:00 AM | Eventbrite
