Get Creative

Join us for a fun, hands-on family activity where children and adults alike can explore the wonderful world of clay. Guided by our friendly volunteers, you’ll learn simple techniques to mould, shape, and decorate your very own clay creations inspired by the heritage of Sharpe’s Pottery.

No previous experience needed – just bring your imagination!
Your masterpieces can be taken home the same day (air-dry clay).

Come, play, and get your hands muddy as you discover the joy of clay!
