Celebrate your inner creative flair at our Ceramic Tea Light House Workshop this May 15th at Bell Plantation...

Meet Charlotte, a ceramic maker based in the heart of Northamptonshire, specialising in flower preservation. @charlotteceramics

Charlotte uses real plants and flowers to get the most amazing textures into her bespoke ceramic pieces. Many of the flowers that she uses are grown in her own garden from seed. The whole nurturing process of growing a plant and watching it bloom is extremely rewarding. Then, to preserve it forever into the work feels extra special.

The availability of flowers change as each season progresses – but that’s the beauty of incorporating nature with ceramics. The results can sometimes be unpredictable, but this adds to the excitement of how a piece will turn out.

Ever fancied having a go at making your own piece of work out of clay? You can!

Whether you are looking to come along in a group (perhaps a hen party), or want to come alone and meet other creatives, everyone is welcome. Suitable for children aged 7+.

This pottery workshop will be focusing on making a ceramic tea light house, using the hand building technique. Suitable for beginners as well as anyone who has experience working with clay. You will be encouraged to get creative and use your imagination, to create a piece that is unique to you, handmade in your own style. This will not be a pottery class where everyone makes the exact same shape & design – go wild!
