Hanging Planter Pocket Workshop
Join Ceramic Designer Alex Allday in her studio at Middleport Pottery to create your own porcelain hanging planter pocket.
You’ll learn how to hand build in porcelain, along with how to apply a variety of surface decoration techniques using coloured slips, stains, different tools and objects to create sgraffito, textures and patterns on your own beautiful hanging planter pocket. Once fired the pockets are watertight so you can display real flower stems in them.
You will be able to practise the different surface decoration techniques onto a couple of porcelain tiles/ plaques or coasters before creating your pocket. These will be fired with your pockets.
