Join in this beginner-level pottery-making workshop and create beautiful little candle houses from clay with your favourite little person. Our workshop is the perfect opportunity for parents and their children to spend some quality time together, away from screens and other distractions.

Pottery making is a fun and grounding experience that has a calming effect on the mind and body. It is an excellent way to inspire creativity and connect with each other. Through this workshop, parents and children can begin their pottery journey and prepare for winter solstice festivities.

During the workshop, participants will engage in 100% hands-on activities; please dress accordingly as it can potentially get a bit messy. The candle houses will not be fired, which means that they can be taken home right away. However, keep in mind that the unfired work is relatively fragile and needs to be kept safe. We recommend bringing a small wooden board or a plate.

Limited to 6 adult-child pairs. Sponsorships available (just ask). Bookings essential and close Monday, 7th July at 2pm.

This workshop is proudly sponsored by the Riverside Community Trust. Please contact Tanja (at education@riverside.org.nz) for any workshop questions or to discuss sponsorship options.
