Who is this workshop suitable for?
Ages 16+
Suitable for any level of experience.
What will be covered in the class?
Guided by artist Lili John, use found natural tools from Great Linford Manor Park to add texture and pattern onto slabs of clay, which will become your hand-built pots and vases. Your creation will be taken home with you at the end of the session, where you can dry it and seal it with a combination of paint and PVA glue. Alternatively, sprinkle wild flower seeds into your clay before rolling it out, place your final un-fired piece in your garden or plant pot on the balcony, and wait for nature to take over.
