Every week you can attend, you will be invited to create something on paper, and then in clay. If you have clay at home, great! If you don’t, you are welcome to pop in our workshop in Wicken, we will supply you with some.

Monday nights, by your computer ready, you will need an A3 sketch book, a marker pen, a pencil and a bit of clay!
