Wheel-throwing Taster

A playful ceramics event for animal lovers, daydreamers, and first-time makers.

Clay, paws, ears, and imagination—let’s make something adorable.
In this lighthearted, beginner-friendly ceramics session, you’ll sculpt and decorate a trio of animal figurines: real pets, dream creatures, or imaginary besties with big personalities (and maybe a little attitude).

No experience? No problem. Just bring your animal obsession and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
We’ll guide you step-by-step through shaping, texturing, and painting your tiny companions using colourful underglazes and simple hand-building techniques.

What you’ll do:

• Learn the basics of sculpting small figures in clay
• Make 3 animal sculptures (cute, quirky, or totally fantastical)
  
• Add texture, colour, and personal flair
  
• Laugh a lot. Get a little messy. Leave with something delightful.

After the event, we’ll glaze and fire your pieces.
They’ll be ready to pick up in around 4 weeks—fully finished, and irresistibly giftable (if you can bear to part with them).

Come for the clay. Stay for the snouts, tails, and tiny toe beans.
