Creative Workshops for Curious Kids at Commonage Pottery
Let your kids warm up their winter with creativity, imagination, and
hands-on play at Commonage Pottery!
Our 2-hour workshops are designed to inspire young
artists through clay, wool, and nature-based materials — helping them explore
shape, texture, and 3D design while having fun.
As you drive through the winding roads of the Southwest, spotting sheep,
cows, and sunflowers, your children can also indulge into their own creative
world – shaping animals, sunflowers, and felt creatures with the guidance of
three local artists.
What's On:
Monday 7th & 14th July
Felt Rock Buddies with Annie Winchcombe
Children will use soft, natural wool fibres to create their very own “rock buddy” felt creatures. This workshop is a gentle, tactile introduction to felting and imaginative character-building — perfect for curious minds and playful storytelling.
