Make a Clay Pot: An Introduction to Ceramics
Join artist Charlie Brookes for a hands-on workshop introducing the basic principles of how to make ceramics.
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, decorate your pot using a technique called sgraffito 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.
There are 2 workshops on this day:
10:30 - 13:00 for ages 13-17
14:00 - 16:30 for ages 18-26
Book the relevant course on the right
