Welcome to Clay Wild's Pottery & Pints class at Hackney Brewery & High Hill Taproom!
Join Megan (she/her), founder of Clay Wild, for a fun pottery workshop at High Hill Taproom. Suitable for all levels and COMPLETE BEGINNERS WELCOME! Come along to grab a drink & get creative. Take away a pot or two at the end of the class. One pint of beer is included (any freshly brewed Hackney core range beer).
About the class:
Ever wanted to try pottery? Now is the time! In this fun, relaxed class, you’ll be making your own pots, suitable for succulents, trinkets or whatever your heart desires. You will be guided through the build, along with how to personalise your creations. Megan will also share decoration tips for you to try at home.
Boxes/bags will be provided to take your clay home in as your clay will still be delicate upon completion. All you have to do is show up and get potting!
We will be working with air-drying clay, so please note the products will not be food or drink-safe. However, it can be waterproofed to hold plants.
Dates and Times: Sunday 11th August 2-4pm
Location: High Hill Taproom @ Hackney Brewery, Unit 10, Lockwood Way, London, E17 5RB
