Wednesday Night Workshop: Miniature Clay Objects

Welcome back to another year of Wednesday Night Workshops! 

In 2025 we will spend the year exploring a range of mediums, from clay to paint and so much more, and continue learn about the wonderful artists who so skilfully use each medium to communicate ideas.

We will start the year with clay – but not as you know it. During this workshop, enter into a miniature world of clay and create your own array of tiny objects. Inspired by artists such as Clayful by Cielo and Eleonor Bostrom, this workshop will see participants choose to create their own tiny characters, vases, objects or even abstracted forms – think wiggly lines, unexpected shapes and tiny platforms.

This is an 18+ only workshop.
Suitable for all skill levels. 
Materials and refreshments provided.

Yaz typically uses bold black lines and vibrant colour palette making her work distinctive.
