For those wanting to meet people in the local community. A wonderful way to join a creative activity group and make friends. Come on your own or with someone you know.
A fortnightly creative social club full of chat, activity, friendship and learning. Join the Pottery Social Club at Keeeps on weekdays in Marlow high street. 2 hours of pottery in beautiful studios with friendly tutors and staff on hand, followed by half an hour of tea, coffee, biscuits and chatter.
This is not just for arty types, it's a way to join a supportive community, relax and have a giggle. With the added bonus of increasing hand-eye coordination, concentration, and bolster problem-solving skills. But more than anything, the feel of the clay can be relaxing in itself and you will find yourself making shapes without even thinking about the end product.
The class will include handbuilding, surface decoration and underglazing. If you wish to try the wheel, we will happily show you how.
Price includes free tea, coffee and biscuits served in the half hour refreshment break at the end of the session. Either book online or call us on 01628 397000 to book.
Pieces will be fired on your behalf by the Keeeps team and can either be collected or posted to you 4-6 weeks later.
