About This Event

Autumn is here! Come along and learn hand-building techniques to make a pot out of clay. Return a month later to turn you pot into a candle! We're entering Autumn with a cosy clay candle-making two part workshop. Come along on Saturday the 3rd October at 10:30AM and learn how to create a pot from clay. You will be guided through every step, so this is suitable for complete beginners who have never used clay before, as well as more advanced handbuilders looking to do something new with their skills. After you're done, we'll fire and glaze the pots in our workshop. You're then invited to drop in on Saturday the 31st October to transform your finished pot into a totally unique candle, using soy wax and essential oils. Take your candle away with you to enjoy at home! If you're unable to attend the second date, just let us know. We can do the candle part for you! Knowledge Required • Beginner - This session is for ages 16+ only. Techniques You Will Explore Handbuilding, sculpting, textures. Materials Provided • Everything What to bring • Relaxed clothing that you don't mind getting a little messy. Bring your own apron if you have one.

Refunds and Booking Terms • Workshop and course bookings can be cancelled and refunded up until 7 days before the scheduled start date. As the workshop fees part support the work we do for as a non-for-profit, and because materials and equipment are ordered in advance, we regret that refunds cannot be offered less than 7 days before the workshop date. • Unfortunately we cannot offer part refunds if you miss a session or are unable to attend! - This workshop will be taking place upstairs at the Merseyway Workshop.
