Event Details

Using a slab technique you will create a delightful wrap-around vase, embellished with your own unique design.

Our workshop offers a unique opportunity to get your hands dirty and delve into the world of pottery. No prior experience is necessary; Lola will be there to support and inspire you throughout the creative process. We provide all the necessary materials, including high-quality clay, tools, and aprons, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone.

A Dash of Indulgence: What’s a creative endeavor without a little indulgence? We believe in nourishing not just your artistic side but your taste buds as well! As part of the workshop, you’ll be treated to a delectable slice of cake and a choice of a hot drink, helping you to relax and immerse yourself fully in the creative process.

Finishing Touches: Once your masterpiece is complete, Lola will take over. She will carefully fire and glaze your vessel, bringing out its true beauty and ensuring its longevity. After a few weeks, you can return to collect your finished piece, ready to take home and proudly display as a testament to your newfound pottery prowess.

  1. Stress Relief: Pottery is known for its therapeutic qualities, allowing you to unwind and focus on the creative process, leaving the worries of the day behind.
  2. Creative Expression: Embrace your inner artist and explore your unique style through clay sculpting and design.
  3. Social Experience: Meet like-minded individuals, share ideas, and make new friends in a warm and welcoming environment.
  4. Memorable Souvenir: Your decorative vessel will be a cherished memento, a tangible reminder of the wonderful time spent during the workshop.

Tutor

Lola Swain

I am a qualified teacher (BED Hons) and have been working in education for over twenty-five years. During this time, I have taught both children and adults in schools, colleges and workshops at various levels and abilities including those with special needs. I am an exhibiting potter and book artist. The natural world is a major source of inspiration. Nevertheless, I find other things influencing my work such as the incorporation of architectural or cultural inspired detail informed by my travels. My pots are hand-built using traditional coil methods with a surface decoration of coloured and burnished slips. Much of my book artwork combines a variety of techniques including lino, collagraph, marbling, waxed etching, letterpress and paper cuts. I exhibit in various regional exhibitions and art fairs and belong to a number of artists’ groups
