A event held at Bristol Folk House on Friday 14th November. The event starts at 18:30.
Come gather to absorb the healing qualities of clay and your beautiful queer community! Learn how to design, make and decorate your own ceramic hanging planter. You'll learn about slab construction, adding holes for the string/cord, and explore surface texture decoration. You will be able to choose from a wide range of beautiful glazes for your hanging planter to be glazed in at the end of the workshop.
Everything you need to complete the workshop will be provided. All you need to bring is your divine self.
Bristol Queer Pottery Socials are run by queer ceramic artist and pottery tutor, Jasmine (she/they). She has been making pottery professionally for a decade and teaching pottery classes for 6 years. Jasmine also has a background in therapy and with this she is able to hold a safe(er) space for you to express yourself through clay. If you'd like to know more about Jasmines work check out:

The workshop has been made as affordable as possible, whilst still covering expenses and paying the facilitator a fair wage. Ticket options are tiered - please select an option you can comfortably afford :)
FAQs:
How many people are in this workshop?
12 person maximum capacity.
When can I take my pottery home?
Once your pottery has dried out, glazed and fired twice, it will be ready to be collected by you from Bristol Folk House. This can be anytime up to 4 weeks after the workshop. You will be notified when your pottery is ready for collection.
Can I use my pottery for serving food and drink?
Yes. Everything you make during these sessions will be food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe, unless otherwise stated. All pottery will be fired to stoneware temperature, which means it will be durable and suitable for everyday use.
Is there parking and bike storage?
There is free parking on Park Street on Sundays or pay and display parking at Trenchard Street Car Park. There are plenty of bike racks to lock your bike to at Bristol Folk House back entrance. If you come by bus, any busses that stop on Park Street or Centre Broad Quay are within minutes walking distance to Folk House.
What do I wear?
Wear something comfortable and that you don't mind getting a little dirty. You are welcome to bring an apron. Clay doesn't stain but you might not want to wear your best white outfit and trainers!
Is there disability access?
Unfortunately, there is no current wheelchair access at the Folk House. Building works have commenced to extend the building to make room for a wheelchair lift and this will be finished within a year (estimation). Deepest apologies to all those impacted by the current lack of wheel chair access. I look forward to the change happening.
