A creative alternative to the usual socks and Sunday lunch.
Celebrate Father’s Day with a hands-on pottery workshop at our Abbotsford Convent studio, made for kids, dads, grandads, father figures and anyone else you’d like to spend the day getting muddy with.
Based on our much-loved Clay Club, this relaxed Father’s Day workshop is all about getting your hands dirty, having a play with clay and making something together.
We’ll show you the basics of hand building, then you’re free to experiment with shape, texture and form and make something entirely your own. No pottery experience required, and there’s no pressure to make anything sensible.
Just clay, conversation and a table full of tools.
