Sea-washed glass and pottery workshop

Description

Create a pair of mini sea-washed glass and pottery plant-pot pictures on this relaxing, chilled workshop with Edinburgh maker Jacky Cox.

In our vision of a world where recycling, repurposing and up-cycling is the norm, there are objects at our finger tips which can be used to create miniature works of art. 

Jacky works with a variety of materials including glass, recycled crockery and natural materials like slate and sea glass, and the pieces she brings to this workshop have been collected on Scottish shores. 

On this relaxing, 3 hour workshop you will carefully select pieces for your pictures. Sea washed glass and pottery is very tactile, and part of your relaxation will come from taking care to feel each piece, selecting ones that feel and look in harmony.

You will select colours to paint your backgrounds, and design your pictures for display in a deep set frame. Perhaps this workshop will inspire you to do your own beach combing, and take the time to create more lovely works of art at home? 

(Please note that the frames may differ from those in the images, depending on availability).

More information 

The Arienas Collective workshops, courses and events are run from a supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh’s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.

Spaces on our workshops and courses are limited so that our creative team of artists and makers can offer you the hands-on help and support you need to make the most of your time with us. 

All the equipment and materials you will need are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, plus light refreshments (a selection of Shibui teas, coffee, hot chocolate, and sweet or savoury snacks). On full day workshops you are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat inside or out; or there are a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, cafés, and restaurants, plus supermarkets, within a 5-10 minute walk.

PLEASE NOTE: Our workshop space is on the first-floor of a Georgian mews building and unfortunately we do not have lift access. The workshop space is in our home which is not nut free. Please let us know of any skin or food allergies before booking.
