At my barn studio in Brockhall, Northamptonshire, I will bring you a mindful, fun and relaxing retreat. Come and switch off from day to day life, connect with nature, spend time chatting to like-minded people, unleash your creativity, and experience some delicious food, all in a beautiful, rustic environment.
Saturday 3rd May 2025, 10am-4pm
Spend the morning getting your hands stuck in to hand building and decorating your own mug from scratch. You can bring some of your own flowers, or use some that will be provided on the day to use in your design if you wish. You will be guided by me with step-by-step processes along the way. Coloured slips will be used to add colour to your mug, and there will be a range of mark making tools and texture materials to choose from.
Enjoy a delicious lunch
For lunch, enjoy a selection of delicious grazing boards, homemade salads, rustic breads, quiches, pastas and sweet treats.
Hand craft your own set of plates
Whilst your mug starts to dry in the afternoon, you will be set the task of designing and making your own plates. I will be sharing some ideas and inspiration, as well as advising how to get the most out of using coloured slips to highlight flowers and leaves.
More Information
Your masterpieces will be left to dry in my studio where they will be carefully dried, glazed and fired. You will be notified when they are ready for collection in a few weeks, or they can be posted at cost if you prefer.
I will be on hand throughout the day to guide and inspire you through the creative processes and answer any questions you may have. No prior experience needed. All materials, tools, aprons, food and beverages will be provided. I will be there to give you as much or as little guidance as you wish, and hope you have an enjoyable day.
This full day workshop is an ideal activity for you and some friends or family to enjoy together, or if you would like to come alone, you would be very welcome.
I want to keep this retreat small with a maximum of 10 people, so spaces are limited. Please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Further dates may be organised later in the year.
I look forward to seeing you!
