ABOUT

We are a Manchester-based collective delivering educational workshops in clay and ceramic arts. We tailor creative and practical workshops to facilitate in schools and in the community, alongside our weekly drop-in sessions for all ages and abilities.

We also facilitate recreational workshops such as hen-parties, kids pottery parties, and corporate events. Workshops can result in a clay creation for participants to take home, a permanent collaborative ceramic artwork to display at the school or centre, or a temporary large-scale clay environment.

Our clay workshops are great fun, and give a sense of personal satisfaction to our participants. Come and try it for yourself at one of weekly drop-in sessions . Feel free to get in touch for more information, and have a look at some of our example workshops for ideas.
