Join Rosie, owner of Ceramics in the Annexe, for a relaxed, hands-on pottery workshop hosted at Petal & Stalk's Flower School in Navenby.
This cosy 2.5-hours session is perfect for complete beginners and offers the chance to get creative in a welcoming, small-group setting.
The workshop begins with a demonstration, followed by plenty of time for you to shape, add detail and decorate your very own charcuterie board / picky tea platter using a variety of pottery tools and glazes. You'll be guided through every step, so no previous pottery experience is needed.
All materials and tools are provided, along with nibbles and refreshments to enjoy during the class.
Once you've finished creating your piece, your board/platter will remain at the studio to dry before being glazed and twice fired. This process makes your finished piece strong and durable enough for everyday use.
Your completed pottery will be ready for collection approximately 4-6 weeks after the workshop. Collection is available from Petal & Stalk, or your piece can be posted to you for an additional fee.

WHAT TO BRING
The workshop space can be a little chilly, so I recommend bringing a warm layer.
Wear clothes you don't mind getting a little clay on. Don't worry too much, as clay washes out easily!

Please be aware that clay is a natural material and can occasionally crack or break during the process. Every care will be taken with your piece, but this risk is part of working with clay.

How it's made
How it's made
All of our ceramics are handmade in our pottery studio in Lincolnshire, UK. Each piece is created in small batches of around 20 and carefully formed over a two-day period.
Once shaped, the pieces are left to dry slowly for about a week before their first firing in the kiln at 1000°C. This firing removes any remaining moisture from the clay and permanently transforms it into ceramic.
After the first firing, each piece is glazed by hand. Depending on the design, glazes are either brushed on or the piece is dipped to achieve the desired finish. The ceramics are then fired a second time, reaching temperatures between 1220 - 1240°C.
From start to finish, a single piece can take up to four weeks to complete — a slow-made process that allows time and care at every stage.
