Orchids & Clay ~ 14th June 🌾
Join me for a truly special making experience in a Orchid meadow on a 300 acre wildlife farm in Shadoxhurst, Kent.
Surrounded by nature, we’ll preserve the fleeting beauty of common spotted orchids by gently pressing their forms into clay, transforming them into your own ceramic plate or wall hanging.
This workshop is an invitation to slow down and connect with nature and clay.
What to expect
At the heart of this workshop is a mindful making process, where you’ll press the delicate forms of wild orchids and surrounding meadow plants into clay. Rather than picking, we’ll work in a way that allows the plants to remain where they grow and continue to thrive.
I’ll guide you through shaping your plate/wall hanging, capturing these intricate botanical details, creating a truly unique piece. Each plate will be finished in a soft oatmeal glaze to highlight the natural textures.
Light foraging & Wild Tea
We’ll take a short, mindful walk (20 mins) to the meadow, gathering a small selection of seasonal plants for tea. This is a slow and sensory moment, with a little insight into what’s growing around us.
Seasonal cake & tea
As we create, we’ll enjoy a seasonal vegan cake alongside freshly prepared herbal tea.
Practical details
Your ceramic plate will be fired and glazed after the workshop and will be ready to collect from my studio in Faversham around eight weeks later. I’ll email you when it’s ready.
The walk will be slow paced. We will be working in the meadow which is about 20 mins away from any facilities please bare this in mind we will be working under a gazebo if the weather is bad but we will still continue..
All materials, tools, and firings are included. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring shoes suitable for uneven or muddy ground!
~ Parking is free and on site.
~ Full details and directions will be shared after booking.
