Christmas Clay Forest Workshop

Participants take part in a relaxed, hands-on workshop to craft up to five cone-shaped Christmas trees. Working slowly and intuitively, visitors shape terracotta clay by hand using traditional hand-building and sculpting methods. Pieces are then decorated with coloured slip to add gentle patterns and surface details before being taken away to be fired and glazed.
