We'll be pressing clay into moulds to pick up the surface textures and shape of the fruit/veg. The clay fruit is removed from the moulds, we'll clean up the seams to produce life like clay fruit replicas. A variety of clays will be available to use in the workshop. Your ceramic fruit and veg will be taken away to be kiln fired and will be ready to collect a few weeks later from the Botanica Gardens. Suitable for beginners aged 13+.

If you took part in the earlier Mould Making workshop you can use your mould but some other moulds will be available.

What to bring

  • Your plaster mould (some will be available)
  • Clay sculpting tools (these will be available to share)
  • Cardboard box with your name on for your finished fruits
