Pottery Christmas Gonks | Saturday 1st November - 2pm till 5pm

Christmas Gonks & Gnomes

Create Your Own Magical Gonk or Gnome – NEW female gonk designs for this year!

Inspired by Scandinavian folklore, you will create your very own charming gonk or
gnome to add a unique, festive touch to your decor. Or create a Gnome for all year
round.

During this 3-hour workshop, we'll use a mix of slab-building and coiling techniques
to create your gonk from durable stoneware clay. You'll first form the cuddly, round
body from a cylinder, then add a tall, pointy hat from a cone.

Make It Your Own!
The real fun begins when you personalize your gonk. You can choose to add:
A Beard: Create a full, fluffy beard or an intricate curly one using coils.
Hair: If you chose to go for a female gonk add beautiful hair or braids. Add a
necklace, buttons, or a flower to give your creation her own unique style.

Want to make your gonk light up? You can choose to cut shapes into the hat to allow
a light from a tealight to shine through. As we're using stoneware clay, your finished
gonk or gnome will be perfectly safe for either indoor or outdoor use. Samples will be shown, and all techniques will be clearly demonstrated and explained.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and those looking to build on their
pottery skills.
