School holiday programs
School holidays are the perfect time for kids and teens to slow down, get messy and make something with their hands. Our School Holiday Programmes give young makers the chance to spend three creative days in the studio, learning real clay skills while having a lot of fun. Guided by our friendly tutors, they’ll build, sculpt or try the pottery wheel, then decorate and glaze their pieces so they can take home pottery they’re genuinely proud of.
