Ceramic Christmas Tea Light House
Make a unique christmas tea light house to keep or gift, in this fun festive workshop.
Tutor Nikki will guide you through step-by-step how to hand build a pottery tea light house from white clay. You will be shown how to roll and slab build the house and how to strengthen the joins. You will use different shaped cutters for windows and doors to create a unique house which can be used as a tea light holder, ideal for display or a gift for Christmas.
Your house will then be taken away, fired and glazed and returned to Attenborough Arts Centre for you to collect within 3 weeks. Absolutely no experience of working with clay is required.
Tutor Nikki McCathie, new to our team of tutors here at Attenborough Arts Centre, is an experienced arts practitioner who has been delivering creative workshops for over 10 years across the county. She particularly enjoys creating unique mosaic pieces using a variety of coloured mosaic tiles, mirror tiles, cabochons and even crockery! Nikki loves breaking down workshops into simple manageable steps to introduce crafters to new skills and produce fabulous things.
This half-day workshop will run on Monday 24 November starting at 1pm and ending at 4pm.
All materials and equipment will be provided. Please come in old clothes and/or bring an apron as crafting can get messy.
Participants must be aged 18+.
