Botanical Pottery Jug Workshop

Would you love a hands-on experience that blends nature, creativity, and clay?

Join us for a unique pottery workshop where the outdoors becomes your inspiration. Under the expert guidance of Dorset-based ceramic artist Tania Ware, participants will learn traditional hand-building techniques to create a beautiful ceramic jug. Using botanicals gathered from the garden, you’ll imprint natural textures and patterns into clay, with the option to carve or stamp meaningful words into your design.
