What makes this workshop special is that you get to paint your own Spring Themed creations. Choose between painting your very own Plate or Mug thrown on the potters wheel by the artist Martin that’s yours to keep and treasure!
Spend an afternoon relaxing and enjoy the moment by picking up a paint brush to create your unique Plate or Mug painting. Be inspired by the flowers and animals that come out during this spring season. Experience creativity and enjoy the moment.
