These relaxed, hands-on workshops will introduce participants to hand-building techniques in ceramics, with a festive Christmas theme. Participants will have the opportunity to create their own Christmas-inspired tea light holder and decorative pieces, developing practical pottery skills while exploring their own creative ideas.
The workshops will take place in the Ceramics Studio at Hamilton Town House, providing participants with access to a dedicated ceramics environment and the materials and equipment needed to create their pieces.
Each session will be limited to a maximum of six participants, allowing for a friendly, supportive atmosphere and enabling the tutor to provide individual guidance and encouragement throughout the workshop. The small group size also makes the sessions suitable for participants with different levels of experience, including complete beginners.
Participants will be guided through the basic principles of hand building. Use of tools will be demonstrated and supervised. PPE provided if required (aprons/gloves)

Notes
At Lanarkshire Carers, we try our very best to ensure that carers get access to as much information and training opportunities as possible to help them in their caring role. We provide free of charge training courses to ensure that no carer will ever be unable to attend due to financial reasons. However, there is a cost to us and for some courses, it can be considerable.
We understand that as carers, something can arise which would prevent you from attending a pre-registered course. If you are unable to attend please contact us as soon as possible. Many of these courses have a waiting list and unless we know, we are unable to offer your place to someone else.
