Top 5 Reasons people won't try pottery:

"I'm not creative."

"I've never tried pottery before."

"I'll be terrible at it."

"I don't have anyone to come with."

"I don't have time"

Sound familiar? Read on...

The funny thing is, the people who finally book, almost always leave saying the same thing:

"I'm so glad I did this."

Mother's Day is right around the corner!
So if you're looking for something to do with mum, try a mother- daughter (or son) pottery workshop instead of the usual Hallmark card and flowers.

You can do those too... but making something that lasts is a different kind of special.

Even if you've never tried pottery before, you'll be able to relax, get your hands in some clay and spend quality time together.

Handbuilding techniques are easy to learn, and you'll be guided every step of the way. (We promise you'll end up with more than half a pinch pot)

All materials will be provided, and we'll fire your pieces for you, ready to collect a few weeks later.

Sunday 10 May
2pm - 5pm
Montobello centre, Newlands, Cape Town

R580 per person (all inclusive)

Book on Quicket (link in bio)
Spaces are limited. Recommended for Age 15+

Mother’s Day plans - sorted.

If you're looking for a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate mom this year, this is it. Avoid the brunch crowds, put down your phone and pick up some clay in this beginner-friendly pottery workshop. It's a few hours to relax, switch off, and enjoy being creative together.

You'll learn simple handbuilding techniques and make something meaningful to keep. Sure, it might be a little wonky, but it'll be one of a kind and made by you - a memento to remind you both of the special experience you shared.

You don't need to be "creative" to have some fun. Just show up and be ready to play! Your pottery will be ready for collection in 3–5 weeks.
