Ever wanted to create a beautiful, nature-inspired ceramic planter that reflects your personal style? In this vibrant and creative 2 1/2 hour workshop, you’ll do just that.

Join Diane in the studio for a hands-on session where you’ll be given a pre-thrown wheel-made pot ( approximately 12cm high) to transform into your own unique planter. Using a combination of surface decoration techniques—including sculpting, painting, and texture work—you’ll learn how to bring your ceramic piece to life.

This workshop is designed to encourage personal expression. Whether you’re inspired by florals, green men, witches, animals, abstract design, or something totally your own, you’ll be guided to create a piece that’s meaningful to you.

What You’ll Learn & Take Home:

  • Surface decoration techniques including sgraffito, carving, and hand-built additions

  • How to use underglazes to paint and personalize your design

  • Creative freedom to explore and decorate in your own style

  • A beautiful, glazed ceramic planter ready to brighten up your home or garden

Why It Matters:

Hand-decorating your own planter allows you to connect with the creative process and produce something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re making it as a gift or a personal keepsake, your planter will be a reflection of your imagination and care.

No prior pottery experience is needed—just bring your creativity and a willingness to play with clay and colour.

We will carefully dry, glaze, and kiln-fire your planter. It will be ready for collection from the studio in 2–3 weeks. If any breakages occur during firing, we will do her best to repair them. If repair isn’t possible, you’ll have the chance to remake the piece or receive a full refund.

Unit 11, 7-9 Grant St, Cleveland
