Kelham Makes: Jesmonite Plant Pots Workshop

Sat 18 May 2024

Kelham Island Museum

Create your own miniature plant pots with artist and maker Kim Searle using a variety of geometric and recycled moulds.  

Jesmonite was named material of the year 2017, have a go and see why! It's a versatile material that will create a different pot every time. In this session, you'll learn how to weigh it, mix it, add colours and textural effects to create a pot unique to you. 

Pots can be made with pale pastels or vibrant colours, block colours or fantastic marbled effects. You’ll get to try a type of Jesmonite that will set by the end of the session, as well as another type that will set the next day and has a much more organic look. 

This workshop is available in two sessions: 

10.30am-1pm

2-4.30pm 

All materials provided, no experience necessary.

 

Please read the cancellation policy here before booking. We are unable to give refunds or tickets transfers with less than 7 days' notice before the session takes place.
