Pottery cafe projects

 A selection of simple-to-make projects made with air-drying clay

 You can make most of these projects in under an hour.

Materials and extras are free, and we have paints you can use to decorate your pot when dry. The clay will take up to 6 days to dry completely, depending on the project.

You can take your piece away or leave with us and collect later.
