An original two-in-one illustration and pottery workshop from artist Ruby Elliot in collaboration with Decima Clay Studio.

In this 2 hour class Ruby will teach you how to develop your own characters and playful imagery inspired by plants and animals. A special emphasis will be made on learning how to turn random mark making into playfull and unexpected outcomes. In the end of the class you will decorate a large pottery platter (33CM) using your sketches and drawings as inspiration. All levels welcome!

As a result of this workshop you will have a collection of sketches on paper…

How many people will there be in each class?

There will be up to 8 students per session. We pride ourselves in our relaxed intimate environment allowing more one on one time with the teacher.

What Should I Wear?

While the majority of clay can easily be washed out of your clothing, working with terracotta and deeper colours can leave stains. Please come dressed in clothing you do not mind getting dirty and can easily be put through the washing machine. We will provide each maker with an apron for their use during the session.

What Should I bring?

Each class will be fully stocked with all the materials and tools needed. All clay, glazes and firings are included within the cost of the course. Please bring your own sketchbook and drawing/writing materials for note taking and design sketching.

Will there be food provided?

We will provide a range of teas and coffees and some light biscuits. If you would like some a more substantial meal we are conveniently located near Mercato Metropolitano and Borough Market where you can find a range of local restaurants and delis.

What are the COVID precautions?

We will always be in keeping with the government guidelines for Schools and Education. Our teachers are tested regularly. If you are feeling unwell please do not come in to the session.

Do you have disability access?

Our studio is fully wheelchair accessible. If you have any special needs or requirements please let us know in advance and we will try and accommodate you as best as possible.
