Making ceramic candle holders with the Leach Pottery
Join the Leach Pottery for a hands-on workshop in Godolphin House, where you'll create a collection of up to four unique ceramic candle holders.
- Booking essential
Using hand-building techniques such as pinching and coiling, you’ll explore a variety of forms including tealight cups, stick holders, and multi-stemmed designs. Rooted in the Leach Pottery ethos of balancing beauty and utility, this workshop encourages thoughtful making—where form and function go hand in hand. Your finished pieces will be glaze and fired at the Leach Pottery and posted back to you within 12 weeks of the workshop. All materials will be provided. There will be a break with tea, coffee and mince pies (included in ticket price)
