Pottery - Heart Pinch Pot
Join us for a pottery taster session led by our resident artist, Louise Berrill. During this workshop, you’ll explore the essentials of clay preparation, gain hands-on experience with a variety of tools, and experiment with different heart-inspired decoration techniques to create a personalised pinch pot. Once completed, your unique piece will need to be fired in our kiln, and we’ll do this for you, ready to collect from Stanwick Lakes within 14 days. We recommend wearing old clothes and closed-toe shoes for this session.

Glass Fusion - Heart Suncatcher
Create your very own heart suncatcher with artist Sally McRae in this one-and-a-half-hour workshop. Sally will guide you through the basics of glass fusion, offering a wide choice of coloured transparent glass and pre-fused cabochons to design your heart-shaped piece on a pre-cut clear base. Once completed, your suncatcher will be taken to Sally’s studio to be fired in her kiln and will be ready to collect from Stanwick Lakes within 14 days. We recommend wearing old clothes and closed-toe shoes for this session.
