About the party

​

Cáit can provide bespoke pottery party experiences to suit the interests of your child and their friends (10 child minimum, 12 child maximum). Choose from one of the following: Animal, Food or Character themes, and learn how to make Dishes, Lanterns, Boxes with Lids and more. 

​

Your child and their friends will each create and decorate their own clay item during the experience. A demonstration will be provided at the beginning and support and assistance throughout. Simple projects (i.e. dishes and flat hanging items) can be completed in about an hour, however, for more complex makes (i.e. lanterns and boxes), please allow at least 1.5 - 2 hours for your child to successfully complete their work.

​

Cáit requires half an hour to set up at the beginning, and help from the children and adults to tidy up at the end. Therefore, the total time required will be around 3 hours.

 

The children's work will be fired and ready to collect from Cáit's studio @ The Base, Greenham, two weeks after the party.

 

​

Materials included

 

Each child will be provided with a poncho-style apron, 500g clay, a wide range of non-toxic glaze colours, all necessary tools, brushes, sponges, tubs, as well as a wash station. Their work will get fired in a special ceramics oven called a kiln and be ready to collect from Cáit's studio two weeks after the date of the party.
