Join ceramist Caroline from Molten Earth Ceramics for an evening of clay and drinks
Join Caroline and Helen for a fun evening of making a ‘Perky Bloomer’ vase from scratch. Form the vase using clay and use glazes of your choice to add colour and vibrancy.
New to pottery making? Don't worry, no previous experience is necessary, dive hands first into the clay to make some sculpted 'boob vase' you'll be proud of and be the talking point of your home!
Caroline will then kiln fire the vases ready to be collected at a later date.
Why don't you ask how regularly the Board meet e.g. monthly, quarterly
Enjoy a friendly get together, enjoy making, make new friends, relax and enjoy a cuppa!
Each session will be a different media of arts and crafts so could be journaling, card making, painting, upcycling etc we will cover a whole range of ideas.
They aren't taught sessions, they are relaxed sessions to just enjoy making but ideas for everything will be provided and help and guidance.
All materials will be provided.

In this creative writing workshop, you'll learn techniques that will help you find ideas and inspiration everywhere you look, and how to develop those ideas into short stories and longer fiction. You will learn how to use visual prompts, stories from the news, and snippets from your own life, and learn how to strengthen your own writing and imaginative processes. Taught by award-winning writer SJ Bradley, who lives in Leeds, this workshop is open to writers of all level, including beginners. To tie in with the 'Literature in Leeds' exhibition. Ages 16+.
Humphry Repton was the successor to ‘Capability’ Brown as Britain’s pre-eminent landscape gardener. He was renowned for inventing the Red Book. This was an artwork for prospective clients that combined hand-written design proposals with theatrical before-and-after watercolour illustrations. Nine were produced for Yorkshire clients. The talk will include Repton’s commission from Earl Fitzwilliam at Wentworth Woodhouse (1791-1794), which introduced him to patronage in Yorkshire.
