Dive into the foundational techniques of clay sculpture in this engaging 4-week course designed for adults. You'll learn essential hand-building methods such as pinching to create simple bowls, coiling for taller structures, and slabbing to form geometric and organic shapes. After initial guidance, you'll be encouraged to explore your personal style by crafting animals, figures, and more.
This beginner-friendly workshop offers a supportive environment where you can transform raw clay into unique works of art. Please dress in clothing suitable for getting a little muddy, as this creative process can be messy. The clay used is air-drying, perfect for ornamental projects, though final pieces will not be kiln-fired.
The course runs weekly on Mondays from 10:00 to 12:00, starting on 2026-02-23 and continuing through 2026-03-16. Attendance at all four sessions is essential to complete the course. Projects typically remain at the library to dry before you return for finishing touches like painting.
Bookings are essential and free for library members aged 18 and over. You only need to register once to attend all sessions. Spaces are limited, so early registration is recommended. Please arrive 10 minutes early to ensure the sessions start on time.
