Heritage Open Days: Leach Pottery at Godolphin

Find out all about clay crafts with our partners from Leach Pottery who will be at Godolphin for one day.

Join us at Godolphin on Saturday 20 September between 10.30am-12.30pm & 1-3pm, where our friends from the Leach Pottery in St. Ives will be on site exploring the wonders of clay craft.

Using local clay, make your own ceramic badge which will then be fire and glazed at the Leach Pottery.
