Sip and Sculpt

Sip and Sculpt is a hands-on workshop run by artist Faye Lingham, who'll be guiding you through making your own pinch pot from air-dry clay. Once you've got the basics down, you move on to shaping your own sculpture independently. All the materials are included, and the bar stays open throughout, so you can work with a drink in hand. It runs on Friday 6 November at 7pm in Studio One, the community space on the first floor of Derby QUAD & Cinema in the Cathedral Quarter.

QUAD itself is a bit of a hybrid—cinema, gallery, café bar and workshop all under one roof, run by Shiny Brewery. The gallery shows work by local, national and international artists, and the bar and lounge is a place to meet like-minded artistic people. The venue is also a Shiny Brewery stockist, and its list of patrons reads like a who's who of the local acting scene: John Hurt CBE, Paddy Considine, Jack O'Connell and John Tams have all spent time here.

The workshop is £24, with everything you need provided, so you just have to turn up. It's in Studio One, the community space on the first floor of QUAD, Market Place, Cathedral Quarter, Derby DE1 3AS, starting at 7pm on Friday 6 November.
