Clay for your garden.
Dates TBD

Using clay and low-fire glazes for our indoor and outdoor plant friends. Projects may include slow-watering spikes, plant markers, plant 'guardians' and 'bee bowls'. Let the feel of the clay and the freedom to not have to make something 'right' help you reset your mind and release your emotions.

This workshop will take place over two succeeding weeks to allow time for the clay to dry. Each individual session will be approximately 3 hours.

Pricing TBD

Please note products will be available to collect AFTER the workshop, with details announced on the day.

It will be All-Write.
Tuesday 9 July, 2024 19.00 - 21.00

Creative writing can be a safe and relaxing way to explore new ideas and discover parts of yourself you might not know about. The focus of this workshop is NOT on how to make you a 'better' writer, but instead focusses on three to four different ways anyone can use writing to explore and process emotions, work through stress, and get in touch with ideas that might have long been hidden in your mind.

Workshop length: approximately 2 hours.

This is a digital detox session, so all electronic devices must be switched off, or at a minimum set to 'airplane mode' and put away.

Special introductory workshop fee: £27 £19; concession £18 £15. Workshop fee includes a writer's notebook and coffee, tea and light snacks during the session.
