Ceramic Crafts

Clay in its raw state rolled, pinched, cut and joined. You leave having made a figure, a village house or a fir tree of your own, and it comes back to you fired a few days later.

From a Sab of Clay To a Finished Piece

Gohar starts by rolling out a slab and showing what clay will and will not do. From there you build: a house with a roof, a bird, a figure in national dress, a tree with birds in the branches. Pieces dry for several days and then go into the kiln in the workshop.

WHAT TO EXPECT

✓ Hand-building – slabs, coils and pinching. The wheel comes out for anyone who asks

✓ Clay, tools, aprons and the firing are all included

✓ Finished pieces are ready to collect about a week later, or we can send them on

✓ Suits complete beginners; older children work at the table alongside adults

✓ School groups and visiting tour groups are welcome

Tell us the date and how many of you are coming. Because pieces need firing, say if you have a deadline – a birthday, a trip home – and we will plan around it.
