Sundays, 15 September 2024 - 2 February 2025

10.15am - 11.15am, 11.45am - 12.45pm, 1.45pm - 2.45pm or 3.15 - 4.15pm

Every Sunday, join our Watts ceramicist for Clay Club! As a family, get hands-on and messy with clay to wedge, carve, mould, roll, sculpt and create clay masterpieces.

Themes will change fortnightly, inspired by Watts Gallery's rich heritage of pottery, current exhibitions and contemporary influence, (as well as lots of fun and imagination). Take part in a one-off workshop or build Clay Club in as a regular part of your families' creative time together.

15 and 22 September
Sail your imagination to Japan and create a clay boat or ship, seen in prints on display in the final month of our popular Edo Pop exhibition.

29 September and 6 October
When you visit Watts Gallery, you will see and hear many birds around. From robins hopping across the paths, blackbirds chirping in the trees, the pelicans, owls and peacocks repeated in Mary’s work or the eagle and egrets in Edo Pop, choose a bird to create out of clay.

13 and 20 October
As we creep up to a spooky time of year, create a creepy crawling insect to challenge our ceramic-making skills. How might you make spider legs or delicate wings with clay?

27 October and 3 November (during October half term)
Inspired by our new exhibition about the life and work of Cecily Mary Barker and her creation of the Flower Fairies, use clay to create moments and scenes from the magical world and playful exhibition.
