Ceramic Monster Pots - Activity Day

Ceramic Monster Pots 

Get ready to get your hands messy and your imagination fired up! In this creative ceramics session, we’ll be designing and sculpting our very own monster pots. Using clay, you’ll shape your pot and then bring it to life by adding eyes, teeth, textures, and wild monster features.

Once your monster pot is sculpted, you’ll decorate it using coloured slips—liquid clay tinted with vibrant pigments—to add bold patterns, fun details, and a splash of personality before it’s fired.

Whether spooky, silly, or totally unique, your monster pot will be one-of-a-kind and ready to show off once it’s dried and fired!

Throughout the day, we’ll take regular breaks to visit our loose parts area, where we can burn off some energy while building ball runs, dens, and much more. We’ll also head out for a short walk in the beautiful countryside around us, so please make sure to bring a coat and appropriate footwear.

We’ll also enjoy a few team games, tasty snacks, and a delicious lunch.
