About this event

Bradford Industrial Museum

Feeling inspired by the Fountain Cafe exhibition at Bradford Industrial Museum?

Join artist Jess Swift for some air dry clay mug making and decorating! In this 1.5 hour class, you will be taught the basics of hand building pottery techniques to make your own mug! After making, you can decorate your mug using decorations you make in class. You can then take your mug home, and decorate once dried as an at home project.

This will take place in the new Heritage Craft Room at Bradford Industrial Museum.

Please note:This workshop will be using Air Drying clay. As such, the mugs made will be for decorative purposes only.
