Katie will help you to create beautiful plant-based sculptures, inspired by Unearthed: Photography's Roots. You'll learn clay modelling skills and come away with your own beautiful ceramic artwork and a set of tools to continue your clay making journey.

All experience levels are welcome, including complete beginners.
