Baltic Shop Creates | Ceramic Pet Portraits

About

Sat 12 Jul 2025 | 13:00-16:00

£45 per person

Join artist Alex Sickling for a fun and informal workshop where you will get to re-create your pet or favourite animal out of clay.

In this 3-hour workshop you will be taught hand building techniques to capture your furry friend’s features and likeness. You’ll also be shown methods to embellish your work before drying and applying colour.

Your finalised creations will then be taken away to be fired and will be available for collection in approximately 2-3 weeks.

Alex is a ceramicist and illustrator based in the North East. Her handmade objects often have a playful and naïve quality about them which comes from her love of folklore, popular culture and 18th and 19th Century pottery as well as the animal kingdom, specifically her own little pup – Olive!
