Once Upon a Time – The Enchanted Shoe House

Service Description

Once upon a time, there was a little old boot that became a magical home for fairy folk… 🍄✨ Step into a world of imagination and join me for a wonderfully whimsical pottery workshop, where we'll transform a rustic terracotta clay boot into an enchanting little home, full of storybook charm and magical details. Your clay boot base will already be prepared for you, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the really creative part forming it into your chosen shape and bringing your magical little house to life! You'll learn how to work with clay to shape your boot and to add tiny doors, crooked windows, climbing vines, miniature toadstools and all sorts of wonderful details, creating a charming, weathered old boot that looks as though it's been home to fairy folk for generations. There will be lots of inspiration, guidance and encouragement to experiment with textures, shapes and decorative techniques, making your enchanted shoe house truly your own. You'll have the opportunity to add colour using ceramic underglazes during the workshop, or enjoy the natural beauty of the rich terracotta clay and choose to paint your creation at home after firing. Your finished piece will be kiln-fired and ready to collect approximately 3–4 weeks later. Please note these are not glazed, Advice on additional painting and applying a protective acrylic sealer will also be provided. No previous pottery experience needed – just bring your imagination! All materials, tuition, your prepared clay boot base and kiln firing are included. Suitable for adults and ages 11+. Under 16s must be accompanied by a paying adult who is also participating in the workshop. 🎁 Buying as a gift? Leave me a note at checkout and I'll send you a lovely printable gift voucher.
