What a lovely, creative group we had for our Creative with Clay Coiling & Botanicals workshop at the Haddenham Arts Centre!
The morning was spent getting to grips with coiling - a wonderfully therapeutic method for creating beautiful vessels - and then, after lunch, I taught the group how to make fabulous vases using pressed-in botanical elements, the application of "sprigs" and their own artistic flair!
The results are simply fabulous!
Simon and I managed to carefully (despite the Fen roads!) transport all the pieces back to our Blended Monkey studios in Upwell.
Everything will now dry slowly and thoroughly before undergoing the first "biscuit" firing. I'll then glaze everyone's pieces in the colours they have chosen. All the creations will then be fired in a high-fired glaze firing (1250°C).
In addition to our various 1-2-1 and pairs woodturning & pottery experiences held in our Blended Monkey studios, we have a number of group workshops at the Haddenham Arts Centre and the Farmland Museum & Denny Abbey throughout the year.Â

"Thank you for such a lovely day yesterday - I was amazed by what we all created at the workshop in just a few hours. The resourses were great and instructions were clear and helpful. Such a lovely group of people to spend a day with! I can't wait to see the finished products, a lovely reminder of such a fantastic day."
