A Vessel for Home – Hand-Building Pottery Workshop

Homes are shaped not only by architecture and history, but by the objects we live with: vessels that hold, protect and gather meaning over time. In this guided hand-building session, participants will create small ceramic vessels inspired by their personal sense of home, whether that is a memory, ritual, place or feeling.

The workshop will focus on form, balance and the expressive qualities of clay, working with simple pinch and coil techniques.

At the end of the session, participants will choose one piece to be fired. All pieces will be finished in a gloss white glaze, emphasising light, shadow, the soft earthy tones of the clay and the subtle marks of the hand.

Finished pieces will be ready for collection from the Museum approximately 3 to 4 weeks later, and participants will be contacted by email once they are ready.

All materials will be provided.

This workshop is part of our London Craft Week programme with Vigour and Skills, featuring a series of displays, tours and workshops that celebrate the beauty of materials, process and craftsmanship.
