Description

Slow down, get grounded, and connect with your creativity through the meditative process of hand-building with clay. In this relaxed and welcoming workshop, create your own pinch pot cup from light-colored clay and decorate it using a variety of tools and techniques, including Edinburgh clay slip and Orkney clay slip. Use handmade natural grass brushes to apply the clay slip. This workshop is perfect for complete beginners and clay-curious souls alike. Hosted in the warm atmosphere of Art and Vintage Edinburgh, this is more than a workshop—it’s a gentle evening of making, sharing, and enjoying something handmade. Arrive and settle in with a hot drink and nibbles provided by Art and Vintage. Get a short demo and make a small test pot to get a feel for the clay. Begin crafting your pinch pot cup and decorate your pot with textures, carving tools, and wild clays and glazes. Add final touches and finishing details. Your finished pinch pot cup will be carefully glazed and fired and will be available for collection in 3-5 weeks. You will have the choice of picking it up from the studio at Abbeymount Studios or Art and Vintage cafe, Edinburgh during their usual opening times. Receive an email with the exact collection dates and times as soon as they are confirmed.
