Open Day: Big, Bigger, Biggest

We’re a Hey Clay! venue and this year we celebrated with our first open day at the new studio.

Hey Clay! is a national event offering people free opportunities to celebrate everything clay, have some fun, and unleash their inner potter! It’s an initiative by the Crafts Council and forms part of the BBC Get Creative campaign.

In May 2019 we ran free workshops themed ‘scale.’ We encouraged people to collaborate and see what happens when things are big, bigger or massive!

We made hand rolled and extruded coils and constructed small, medium and large pots. Handfuls of subtle marks were left by different fingertips. Over 80 people attended our event and were supported by our dedicated team of volunteers.
