Join local potter Leone, from Amber Lion Ceramics, for a relaxing clay workshop in the beautiful World of Wedgwood Creative Studios.
The workshop will run for two hours and you will learn how to hand-build a little pumpkin patch using the pinching method. Leone will coach you through the processes step by step, you will have the opportunity to make 1-3 pumpkins.
The pumpkins will be fired at Leone's Studio and glazed in the colour of your choice. We always aim to get your items back within three to four weekends however sometimes the clay can take a while to dry so items can take up to six weeks in certain circumstances.
The workshop includes all materials, glazing, and firing. It is accessible to beginners. Your hands and fingers are the main tools for this workshop. Aprons will be provided but please do not wear your best clothes as the clay dust can still get to them.
Disclaimer- clay is a fragile material and sometimes can break in the kiln. We aim for all items to be usable but firing cracks are sometimes inevitable.

About the Artist
Leone started Amber Lion Ceramics because of her love for beautiful handmade objects. After studying ceramics at university and in 2019 buying a kiln she started making little Christmas decorations for herself and her family, and then it gradually developed from there. Setting out with the aim of wanting to make beautiful products that could be easily gifted and wouldn’t break the bank so developed a range of ditsy candle holders and small plant pots.
Her work is bright, bold, beautiful, and heavily inspired by vintage pottery, Ditsy patterns, and 60s floral designs. Using these as starting points in her work, but adapting them to create something for the modern home.
