Kids Clay Party in London
A hands-on introduction to the ancient art of clay handbuilding! Children will learn a little about the fascinating history of clay and ceramics in a fun, interactive talk before getting creative with real clay.
They’ll shape and decorate their own traditional pinch pots — exploring texture, form, and colour as they work. We’ll glaze and fire each masterpiece, ready for collection at a later date.

                  A kids’ clay handbuilding party at Wick & Ceramic in Ickenham, London is a fun, creative workshop where children get hands-on with real clay to make their own pottery pieces — usually a traditional pinch pot. Guided step-by-step, they learn simple clay techniques, explore shaping and decorating, and enjoy painting their creations. The session also includes a short, engaging talk about the history of clay and ceramics, introducing children to this ancient art form.
