28th February - Make your own Stoneware Candlestick with Mud Haus
Saturday 28th February
10am - 2pm
Lunch and a snack from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop, and unlimited tea and coffee included.
Learn the foundational skills of hand building and pottery, alongside Autumn from Mud Haus.
In this relaxed and welcoming session, participants will be guided through the process of hand-building two stoneware candlesticks from a high-quality stoneware clay. You will explore:
Shaping techniques.
How to refine your forms
Painting and decorating your pieces, making each candlestick entirely your own.
Set within the beautiful surroundings of the Walled Garden School at Hawarden Estate, this workshop offers a chance to slow down, connect with an old craft, and enjoy a mindful creative morning.
Once completed, all pieces will be carefully dried and kiln fired. Finished candlestick holders will be ready for collection from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop approximately three weeks after the workshop. Autumn can also arrange postage if required.
The workshop is suitable for beginners and those with some experience alike. All materials and tools are provided.
You do not need any prior skills to attend this class!
