Artist: Trish Bishop
There’s something truly special about working with clay—the cool, soft texture in your hands, the way it responds to your touch, and the sense of relaxation it brings. Today, we’ll be exploring the art of hand-building as we create beautiful wind chimes or bells for your garden.
This workshop is all about creativity and enjoying the process. Whether you’re new to pottery or have some experience, you’ll learn techniques for shaping, decorating, and assembling your own unique chimes or bells. By the end of the session, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind piece that will bring music and charm to your outdoor space.
Pieces can be biscuit fired and you will be notified when your work is available for collection.
So, let’s get our hands in the clay and start creating!
