2-person "2 Crafts in 1 Day" Experience for Beginners

2-person "2 Crafts in 1 Day" Experience for Beginners

£460.00Price
Come and have fun with clay and wood in the peaceful setting of our studios located in the cottage garden of our home on the Cambs/Norfolk border. 
 
This workshop gives you the unique opportunity to experience the basics of two crafts in 1 day. The studios are located in the cottage garden of our home on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border.
 
The "2 crafts in 1 day" workshop is aimed at those who want to have a go at both of these fun crafts, and come away having learnt some basic techniques for both disciplines.
The course is focused but fun, so would make a fantastic gift.
 
The day can also be experienced by two sets of pairs. Meeting at lunch and then changing over in the afternoon
​
This is perfect for couples, friends, and even for parents with children. 
​
The morning will be spent learning the ropes of woodturning - how to cut and shape wood on the lathe, understanding a little about the different tools required, and making a few pieces to take home.
After a light farmhouse-style lunch, the afternoon will then continue with a pottery session.
Students can have fun with clay, focusing on some basic hand
building methods to get them used to handling the material using the techniques of pinching, coiling, slab building and also throwing on the wheel.
Each student can choose 3 pieces for us to glaze and fire once they have dried sufficiently.
When ready, they can either be collected by the student (if they live locally) or I can post them on (I have to charge postage & packaging).
​
Refreshments will be provided during both workshops, and a light, rustic farmhouse-style lunch is also included. Depending on the weather/time of year, lunch can be taken either out in the cottage garden or in our country kitchen.
​
The sessions are hands-on, and the student will be able to use all the studio facilities.
Each student will also be provided with a certificate of participation for both crafts.
 
If you'd like this experience to be a gift for someone, you can also purchase this workshop as a gift voucher from our online shop. 
 
The 2 Crafts in 1 Day experience includes:
- All tools, materials and personal protection equipment (eye protection/lung protection for the woodturning element).
- Smocks and old shirts, but the student may wish to bring their own. Aprons for the pottery session.
- Refreshments (tea/coffee/soft drinks and biscuits).
- Lunch (catering to all dietary requirements).
- One-to-one tuition/private tuition ensuring the student gets the maximum benefit from the experience with no distractions.
- All woodturned work can be taken home, the pottery can be collected or posted out at a later date.
- Certificate of completion.
 
We can advise of local accommodation for those wishing to include an overnight stay in the area.
