Kids Parties

Generally my parties are for 60 /90 mins (allowing time for arrival excitement, cake etc).  I arrive at your destination (often your home) with a theme/ some suggested creations and then I work with my audience as to what they want to make.  A recent party was a “hedgehog” party – which resulted in 2 birds, 1 ladybird, a snail, a dog and a hedgehog…

​

Clay options:-

1. BeeWild! - We make hollow clay creations – and fill them with wildflower seeds.  These are taken home on the day.  Once dry they can be smashed in an area in need of wildflower rewilding

2. Fire & Glaze – I offer firing and glazing , typically returning the items within 1 month. All functional items (plates/ cups etc) will be dishwasher safe.  Given the additional work required, this is a more expensive option than BeeWild! but the creations are everlasting.

3. Throwing - I do have a small portable wheel - which is fabulous for small groups of teens/ tweens.  Note as the activity is one-person-at-a time, a second activity is recommended (pottery/ other)

​

Teens/ adults

Older groups might prefer longer sessions, making more functional items .  Plates, cups, candle holders are popular.  Smaller groups might be interested in a mix of throwing/ hand building, or throwing only. 

​

Hen Parties/ significant birthdays

Depending on the group size we could do a mix of throwing and hand work - making a mug or a candle holder. 

​

Younger children

All ages can be accommodated, however items which are to be glazed need to be securely made.  Young children will need adult assistance. 

​

Numbers

Typically my kids parties are 6-10 children.  However I can adapt my party offering accommodate to whatever size group you need. Parents may need helpers for larger or younger groups. 

​

Set up at your location/  home
•    Ideally a large table over a non carpeted area/ or in the garden on a nice day
•    Have a bucket of water and towel on hand for first-handwashing as clay is not good for sinks
•    I bring (and remove) everything else
•    Happy to discuss further

​

Alternative options:  it is possible to hire my local scout hall. It's a great venue with parking, tables, space and kitchen

​

In short - there are so many fabulous options for a pottery party - please contact me directly - letting me know your requirements  and party size, age group, dates and occasion.
