Join us for a memorable, creative experience making your own Planter.

Our V21 Pottery studio is located at the V21 Sbectrwm Centre in Fairwater, Cardiff. Overlooking our community garden it's a peaceful, relaxed space to get creative with clay and a great way to spend a Saturday. Our sessions are fun and friendly, and suitable for complete beginners and more experienced potters alike.

At this workshop you will learn the ceramic technique of coiling and create your very own unique plant pot complete with drainage tray. Coiling is an ancient technique that has been used for thousands of years, part of its beauty is the imperfect and handmade nature, making every piece unique. Our pottery instructors will guide you through the process where you will learn how to form a coil and create spirals to make your functional and unique planter. You will be able to choose from a selection of finishing glazes which will be applied by pottery staff to complete your design.
