During August Creative Community Pottery will be holding a Pottery Festival in Chesterfield. You will be able to join in with hands-on pottery activities and discover more about the history of pottery in Chesterfield.
There will be vase making workshops where you will be taught how to create a beautifully decorated vase. You can also take part in drop in clay activities for all ages to experiment and learn how to make personalised hanging decorations. These creations will all be displayed in a community exhibition where everyone is invited to come along and see the creativity of the people of Chesterfield!
Featuring information from Chesterfield Museum’s archive and pottery from community groups across the town. Creative Community Pottery is an inclusive and welcoming community group and so it’s important that everyone is able to get involved and experience being creative with clay. Subsidised tickets are available for the activities and skilled teachers are on hand to adapt techniques to match everyone’s needs.
