Pottery- Botanical Imprinting
Sunday 22nd September, 1-3pm at the Albany Community Gardens.
​
Join The Village for an afternoon of pottery in the Community Gardens as part of Art Trail 2024.
We will be preserving the magic of the garden by pressing local and seasonal botanicals which captures the intricacies of nature in clay to become plates. This workshop will introduce you to the world of clay, so no previous clay experience is required. This workshop includes the cost of firing and glazing, so a functional piece of pottery will be made in this workshop and be available for collection/delivery after it has been fired. This is a great way to connect to nature and notice the smaller details of the world around us.
