In this workshop, artist Charlie Brookes will teach you how to make a clay pot through hand-building skills and throwing on a potter’s wheel.

You will have the opportunity to play, craft your own design and learn about ceramic objects in the V&A collection.

We’ll fire and glaze your pots to collect and take home at a later date.
