Get your hands dirty and unleash your inner artist at Newcastle’s Clay and Sip Class, where creativity, ceramics and good times come together at The Art Department.
The hands-on pottery experience is designed to be as social as it is creative, giving participants the chance to learn the basics of hand-building ceramics while relaxing in a welcoming environment.
Whether you’re picking up clay for the first time or already have some experience, the class encourages everyone to get stuck in and create something unique.
Professional pottery teachers will guide participants through fun and creative techniques, helping turn a lump of clay into their own ceramic creation.
There’s no need to bring your own materials, with all the tools and an apron supplied for the session.
And because it’s a Clay and Sip class, participants can bring along their favourite drinks and snacks to enjoy while they work.
A curated playlist provides the soundtrack, while the messy, hands-on nature of working with clay is very much part of the fun.
The Art Department also provides an open and friendly space for people to connect while getting creative, with the experience actively welcoming people with access needs.
It’s a chance to step away from the everyday, make something with your hands and perhaps discover a new creative hobby along the way.
Clay and Sip Class takes place at The Art Department, 133 King Street, Newcastle, each Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Bookings are available through The Art Department.
