Coil build a terracotta pumpkin workshop
Sat 21 Sept 2024
9.30-12.00
Sorbie Village Hall
£25 per pumpkin
Come along and make a fabulous Halloween pumpkin you can use year after year! Pumpkins made at this workshop will be fired and ready for collection for your spooky celebrations.
During this session I'll take you step-by-step through pinching and coil buildng a pumpkin lantern from clay, then cutting out holes ready to illuminate it with a tealight. Pumpkins will be built from terracotta earthenware clay, which is naturally a lovely pumpkin-y orange when fired. After the session, I take the pumpkins back to my workshop, allow them to dry and then fire them to 1100°C. Once they’ve cooled, you come and pick up your pumpkin.
Included: expert tuition, all terracotta clay and materials, equipment and kiln firing
Just come along with short fingernails and an apron or old shirt.
Suitable for adults. Suitable for children as follows: Ages 11 and up can normally build their own pumpkins. Ages up to 11 will need their adult’s help to complete the pumpkin in the time frame. An adult helping a child is unlikely to have time to also build their own (a second) pumpkin. Please book for the number of pumpkins you’re building. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult – please see T&Cs.
