Visit WebsiteEvent Description:
Join Toni from Easely Does It for a relaxed, family-friendly clay workshop where you’ll create your own beautiful decorative flower bowl.
In this hands-on, step-by-step session, children and adults will shape and design a unique bowl using air dry clay, adding floral textures, patterns, and decorative details. Once dry at home, your bowl can be painted and even varnished to create a lovely finished piece.
This session is calm, creative, and perfect for all abilities — no previous experience needed. 🌸
⚠️ IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING
All participants MUST bring their own bowl to use as a mould.
✔️ A large, shallow bowl works best and is easiest to use
✔️ The bowl will be used to shape your clay during the session
✔️ Without a bowl, you won’t be able to complete the project
During the workshop, families will explore how to:
✨ Shape and press clay using a bowl mould
✨ Create petal edges, textures, and floral designs
✨ Add patterns and decorative details
✨ Prepare your piece for drying, painting, and finishing at home
Please note:
Your clay bowl will need time to fully dry at home before decorating
Once dry, it can be painted and varnished
These bowls are decorative only — they are not waterproof and cannot be used outside or get wet
All clay and tools are provided — just bring your bowl, your creativity, and a sense of fun.
