Hand building pottery workshop - Walthamstow

This workshop is a collaboration between the eco residents at Crate ‘Greener Habits Co’ and Sarah Harper, founder of ‘Happy By Harper’. Greener Habits is a zero waste shop, helping to make this corner of Walthamstow a bit greener and more sustainable. Happy by Harper is a small creative business in Walthamstow focused on positive mental health and making homeware to make people happy.

During this 90 minute workshop, we'll be using air dry clay to create 2-3 of your very own pottery pieces! And as a Halloween special, pumpkins will certainly be one of the options!

We'll use a range of techniques including pinching, coiling and rolling to create items of your choice, which could include a tea light holder, pen pot, jewellery stand, or mini pumpkins. Sarah will explain how air-dry clay differs from traditional pottery clay, and give some tips and tricks for anyone wanting to continue using clay at home. All workshop materials will be provided.

​

Treat yourself to an afternoon of creating and self-care, or buy as a gift for a loved one. Adults and children are welcome, but children need their own ticket and should be accompanied by an adult with a ticket. The minimum suggested age for children to take part is 7. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

All your need to bring is some tupperware or a box to carry your pieces home in. They'll remain soft and fragile until a few days after the workshop!
