Clay Café at Lyveden

Discover the calming, creative joy of working with clay in our cosy café. No experience or artistic skills necessary.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

Clay Conversations practitioner, Ruth guides a relaxed session using clay to support creativity and wellbeing. The focus is on enjoying the material and process, rather than the end product.

Direction and advice is provided, with a theme for each session; October's session will be themed on gourds, pumpkins and autumn tales. However, you are also free to follow your own ideas and make whatever your hands want to!

All materials supplied, £7.

There is the option to have your clay creation fired and glazed, at a small additional cost – please ask Ruth during the session for more details.
