Hands-On Workshop: Pottery

Happy Yappy Clay are running a pottery workshop at The Lab, Aviva Studios on Sunday 8 November, with local artist Millie leading the session. It's a two-hour workshop that starts at 2pm, and it's free to attend.

The session is built to be fun and accessible to everyone, from total beginners who've never touched clay to people who've sculpted before. You'll learn how to work with clay and make a pinch pot, a trinket dish, an incense tray or a tea-light holder, and you'll leave with one or two of your creations to decorate at home. It's a hands-on afternoon, so you'll be making things rather than just watching.

Millie runs Happy Yappy Clay, the local artist behind the workshop, and she'll be there to guide you through the process. The session is for over-18s only, and you'll need to book your access tickets directly from Factory International. The workshop takes place at The Lab, Aviva Studios, in St John's, Manchester M3 4JQ, on the ground floor. It runs from 2pm for two hours, and it's free.
