Say goodbye to those run-of-the-mill, assembly line planters and say hello to a world of creativity with clay! Local pottery whiz, Rachel Gervais, invites you to get your hands dirty with terracotta clay.

This 4-1/2 hour workshop is all about taking baby steps into the world of ceramics. We'll guide you on how to construct clay like a pro, ensuring your masterpiece is as sturdy as it is stylish. From imprinting textures to adding shapes, we're all about letting your creativity run wild. When the dust (or rather, clay) settles, you'll be the proud parent of a planter, complete with a tailor-made tray. Now, how's that for a clay date?

Your bespoke planter will be ready for collection 2 weeks after class, post its bisque firing glow-up.
