Pottery for beginners
with Sylvia Sinel
Sunday 7th December
Come and join Sylvia for a fun 2 hour "Have-a-go at pottery" workshop. Sylvia will demonstrate a few handbuilding projects and we will incorporate organic materials found in the park to make interesting surfaces. 2 kg of clay, glaze and firing included in the price (enough to make quite a few items).
The setup is aimed for beginners and curious creatives who want to try their hands at clay work in a relaxed setting. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the firings.
Sylvia Sinel's interdisciplinary art practice spans over 35 years and her work can be found in many private collections worldwide. Sylvia is very much involved in the art community and regularly teaches classes and workshops in various organizations. https://sylviasinel.com/
