Terracotta Moon Gazing Hare Workshop

Ready to learn the art of sculpting and bring a beautiful hare to life?

In this fun and creative terracotta workshop, you’ll be guided through the pottery process, from shaping the clay to adding more intricate details. Throughout the day, you’ll be taught step-by-step instructions on how to build and design your moon gazing hare sculpture using traditional hand-building techniques.

Whether a newbie or experienced potter, you’ll love unleashing your artistic side. All materials are provided, but please do bring an apron or wear old clothes. If possible, trim any long nails. This may help when modelling the clay.

After the workshop, your sculpture will be taken away to be fired in a kiln. It will be ready to collect approx. 6 weeks after the workshop. We will notify you when it is ready.
