Welcome to Clay Wild's Pottery class at art'otel Hoxton!
Join Megan (she/her), founder of Clay Wild, for a fun, relaxing pottery workshop at art'Otel Hoxton. Suitable for all levels - come along to make some pots & get creative. Take away your creations on the day!
About the class:
The class focuses on traditional hand-building techniques & you will be guided through how to personalise your creations.
At the end, you will receive tips on how to decorate at home when dry. 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.
No experience necessary - suitable for all levels!
Your clay will still be delicate upon completion, so boxes/bags will be provided to take your clay home in. Each month there will be an opportunity to build on your skills & make something new.
