Getting started with Air Dry Clay

Discover the joy of working with clay without a kiln in our Getting started with Air Dry Clay workshop!

This beginner-friendly workshop offers a relaxed introduction to creating with air-dry clay, perfect for those who are curious about sculpture or looking for a new creative outlet.

Led by Lizzie Croucher, you’ll experience how to:
• create pots and dishes
• roll seasonal dried leaves and foliage into slabs of clay
• shape, texture, and join pieces

No experience needed—just a willingness to get a little messy and have fun. All materials will be provided, and you’ll leave with at least one handmade piece to take home. Suitable for ages 16+.

Food and drink is also available for purchase throughout the session from our cafes.
