Auck Folk Festival - Beer Tankard-making pottery workshop - Sun 10am
This is your chance to have a bit of a play with clay, make and decorate your own 1 pint (approx. 850ml) beer tankard.
Roughly within an hour, using templates, formers and decorating tools provided by us, you will decorate and assemble the body of your tankard. Finally, you will attach the handle before adding any final personalised touches and selecting what colour you wish your tankard to be glazed.
We will bisque and glaze fire your pieces off-site and then courier them to you within 2 weeks, after the festival.
