Looking for a fun activity for your children to learn this Easter Holiday?

​

After the success of last years children's holiday workshops, Lucy Hogan, the founder of Wildcroft Pottery, is running two sets of two day tailored Pottery Workshops for children age 7 plus this Easter holiday. 

Choose between 3rd & 4th April or 13th & 14th April between 10am -12.30pm 

No previous experience is necessary. The workshops are intended to be a fun way for children to learn a new skill & get their hands mucky! 

​

What will the children make?

​

Day 1:  Easter themed animal/decorative egg cups &  textured animal shaped dishes

The children will be taught how to make a small pinch pot and add the chosen animal's arms, legs and features using pottery tools and a scoring & slip method. Then using pre-cut animal templates they will learn how to use moulds to create animal shaped dishes, adding texture and features as required. For older children there is the option to use decorative additions rather than animal shaped creations. 

​

 

Day 2: Decorating egg cups & dishes with colourful underglazes & slips

After finishing off their pieces from day 1, the children will decorate their pieces using colourful underglazes & slips. After the workshops will then be fired, a transparent glaze applied by Lucy and then fired again. The pieces can then be collected from Wildcroft Pottery 4 weeks after the course.

​

Where is the workshop & how is it run?

The workshop is held in Wildcroft Pottery's fully equipped garden studio, in Witley, near Godalming, Surrey where there is ample space for 6 children.

Lucy will personally demonstrate a step by step approach to building each item, so that the children can build their own pieces whilst being continually guided. The children will have supervised access to the pottery tools required to make each piece.

​

What is the cost?

• 2 Days £70 per child

Cost includes clay, tools & equipment, decor, two firings of each piece, aprons & refreshments.
