Take some time out for yourself and join Alice Peake for an online ceramics workshop. You’ll start by learning how to handle, roll and mark/add texture to the clay before moving on to form the clay into cups or spoons. You’ll then be shown how to add finishing touches to your piece.

You will need:

• Air drying clay
• Old yogurt pots/jam jars
• Old pieces of cardboard/paper and plastic bags (for imprinting textures)
• Toilet roll tubes
• Tool(s) for cutting and shaping the clay. These do not have to be special clay tools, you can use anything you have at home.

This event will be streamed via Facebook Live from the LU Arts Facebook page.
