Bring the kids along for some creative fun!
Tuesday 17th February 2026
@ By Heather May, Ripley
10am to 12noon
Make a monster 'friend or foe' from a thumb pot. Follow simple instructions to create a monster pot or freestyle your own ideas!
This is a 2 hour workshop for little and big kids! No experience is need as I will be explaining and demonstrating everything.
We’ll start with making a simple thumb/pinch pot which can either form the body or mouth of your monster. I’ll then demonstrate how to make the various features of the monsters, but it is up to you to choose the exact design of your creature. I’ll have lots of examples to look at and pictures for inspiration so you can either copy something exactly or let your own imagination run wild!
This is suitable for children ages 7 and up. Children under 10 must be accompanied by an adult. For children 10 and over, parents can choose to drop them off. Adults are welcome to join in on the fun! The price is the same for all participants
All materials and equipment are provided, you may wish to bring an apron or simply don’t wear your best clothes in case you get clay on them - but it should wash out.
Below are some examples of creatures made at previous workshops...
