Unfortunately, we have had to cancel this event.
Jess will be with us on Saturday with a family-friendly drop in workshop as part of the Festival of Archaeology Finale
As part of The Festival Of Archaeology, join artist Jessica Swift for an air dry clay vase making class.
Using air dry clay, and the building techniques inspired by the exhibition, in this 2 hour session you will be taught how to coil build your own vase, and be able to create decorations for the piece.
You will be able to take your creation home, and once dry, decorate at home with your own paints, pens, tissue paper – the choice is yours!
Please note – since this is air dry clay, the vases made will be decorating only, or used for plastic plants.
