Christmas Felting Party - 2 hrs

Berwick-upon-Tweed

Ravn Clay's popular festive pottery workshop returns for its fifth festive year. We can't guarantee snow, but we can guarantee fun!
This ninety-minute pottery session, designed for the young and young at heart, will see you create individual or stacking trees using slabs of stoneware clay. Although simple in principle, it will involve some skill and imagination in joining and decorating your finished piece! We will work together to make the trees, and once finished, they will stay at the studio to be fired, glazed (in a single colour of one of the dipping glazes we have available) and then re-fired. All in time to be collected (or posted out) for Christmas!
I remember all the decorations coming out for Christmas - the sentimental, the expensive and the home made. It was an odd mix but fitting one - of baubles, Angels, tinsel, and Santa Claus figures made out of cardboard tubes, red crepe paper and cotton wool, lovingly glued together at nursery by us kids and resurrected each Christmas despite the wear and tear of their yearly outings. 
This workshop, to build and decorate Christmas trees, is in this tradition. Several trees can be built and decorated seperately, then stacked together - perhaps symbolising the coming together of family and friends which is perhaps one of the best parts of the season. Unlike the cotton wool Santa of old, these stoneware trees should stand the test of time and be a lasting memento of your time together in the pottery, and part of your Christmas Tradition for years to come.
The booking fee only secures you a seat at the table - you will need to pay on the day for what you make. Some people may just want to create one tree, while others (or families) may opt for a small copse that can be stacked or grouped together. It really is up to you. The tree form is a hollow triangular based pyramid with sizes going from approx 6cm to 16cm tall. 

The booking structure is designed to allow people to make as many (or as few) of the trees as they want to. There is no minimum size or number - and you are only limited by the time you have available. 
On the day, participants will need to pay the following for each tree completed;
Tiny Tree - £8.00
Small Tree - £9.50
Medium Tree - £11.00
Large Tree - £12.50
Extra-Large Tree - £14.00
HUGE Tree - £15.50
Please note - only the Extra-large and Huge Tree are suitable for BATTERY POWERED TEA LIGHTS - we do not recommend naked flames going into any of these small pottery trees.
For example - Jo Bloggs may come to a workshop and make just one HUGE tree. He will pay the £5.00 booking fee in advance, and need to pay £15.50 on the day (total £20.50). 
or...
The Bloggs family of 4 might make the 4 tiny trees to stack. This would be a booking fee of £20.00 and £32.00 to pay on the day - a total of £52.00 for the group, or the equivalent of £13.00 per participant. The minimum payable per participant is £13 (£5.00 deposit and £8.00 tree). 

A stacked tree of tiny, small and medium on the left; and large, extra large and huge on the right.
There are only eight places per session - that allows enough access to support for everyone to be successful! Also, as this is a creative class designed to be accessible for younger potters, a parent or guardian must stay with any participant aged 16 or under. Each ticket will enable one participant to build their Christmas Trees. If you are accompanying a younger potter, and want to join in, please book an additional space; if you will only attend to help them, no extra ticket is needed.
A word of warning - the kiln Gods can be fickle, and despite doing everything possible, some pieces will fail, crack or blow up (!) in the kiln. There are no guarantees in pottery, not even for seasoned potters. 
A second word of warning - working with pottery can be hugely addictive. You have been warned!
The New Ford Studio is housed on the ground floor of the old Reading Rooms - you will find it just up the road from Lady Waterford Hall. Nearby are many attractions and places to walk, shop and eat; how about a near by Narrow-guage Railway (that runs to Etal Castle and back), a working flour mill, a Village Shop & Tearoom, a heavy horse centre, a micro-brewery, or a Riverside cafe? 
https://w3w.co/lobster.rapid.clinking

Access to the studio is only via a set of external stone steps, and there is a single toilet available on site. The booking cost (£5.00) secures a spot at the maker's table; if you need to stay to support a younger participant, please make sure you have noted this when you book your ticket!
Please note - the cost includes all materials, tuition, glaze and firings. If you need your work posting out to you or someone else, please ensure you book an additional postage and packing ticket!
Remember, under 16s need a parent or guardian in attendance. You can assist and support your young person, but if you want to build your own tree(s), you'll need to book and pay for an additional space.
We look forward to seeing you soon. And festive whatnots to you all!

Christmas Tree Builder 2024

This Christmas why not celebrate the gift of giving - by joining one of Ravn Clay's Brand Pottery Present Making Workshops.
This ninety-minute pottery session, designed for the young but also the young at heart, will see you create individual or grouped presents using slabs of stoneware clay. Although simple in principle, it will involve some skill and imagination in joining and decorating your finished piece! We will work together to make the presents, and once finished, they will stay at the studio to be fired, glazed (in a single colour of one of the dipping glazes we have available) and then re-fired. All in time to be collected (or posted out) for Christmas!
I remember all the decorations coming out for Christmas - the sentimental, the expensive and the home made. It was an odd mix but fitting one - of baubles, Angels, tinsel, and Santa Claus figures made out of cardboard tubes, red crepe paper and cotton wool, lovingly glued together at nursery by us kids and resurrected each Christmas despite the wear and tear of their yearly outings. 
This workshop, to build and decorate Christmas Presents, is in this tradition. They can be built and decorated separately or in groups - as decorations, table centre-pieces, or indeed gifts themselves. Unlike the cotton wool Santa of old, these stoneware presents should stand the test of time and be a lasting memento of your time together in the pottery, and part of your Christmas Tradition for years to come.
The booking fee only secures you a seat at the table - you will need to pay on the day for what you make. Some people may just want to create one present, while others (or families) may opt for a group that can be displayed together. It really is up to you. The presents are essentially hollow cubes of clay, and the dimensions listed below should indicate a rough idea of the cube size.

The booking structure is designed to allow people to make as many (or as few) presents as they want to. There is no minimum size or number - and you are only limited by the time you have available.
On the day, participants will need to pay the following for each tree completed;
Tiny (approx 5cm) - £8.00
Small (approx 6cm) - £9.50
Medium (approx 7cm) - £11.00
Large (approx 8cm) - £12.50
Extra-Large (approx 9cm) - £14.00
Huge (approx 10cm) - £15.50
For example - Jo Bloggs may come to a workshop and make just one HUGE present. He will pay the £5.00 booking fee in advance, and need to pay £15.50 on the day (total £20.50). The Bloggs family of 4 might make four of the 4 medium presents. This would be a booking fee of £20.00 and £44.00 to pay on the day - a total of £64.00 for the group, or the equivalent of £16.00 per participant. The minimum payable per participant is £13 (£5.00 deposit and £8.00 present). 

There are only eight places per session - that allows enough access to support for everyone to be successful! Also, as this is a creative class designed to be accessible for younger potters, a parent or guardian must stay with any participant aged 16 or under. Each ticket will enable one participant to work with clay.

Learn how to weave without a loom, using a wooden board, and a needle and thread!
Whether you’re a seasoned weaver or a total beginner, these little creations are magical to do - and better yet, you can do it from your sofa!
Discover a new skill, meet like-minded people and enjoy the rewarding feeling of having made something beautiful from scratch.
In this workshop we'll put functionality and fashion aside for a moment to celebrate woven cloth, and the structures used to create it.
Twills, herringbones, dogtooth, hopsack - typically part of a functional product, a garment or home furnishing - now shown in a different setting, as artworks, to be displayed and admired as a painting or a sculpture would be.
We’ll take our time to learn about the history of the fabrics we are weaving, and why it's important to challenge the mentality around fast fashion.
Though first developed for its functionality, weaving has long been practiced as a form of expression, like many other artistic disciplines - but in today's fast paced fashion culture, we have started to think of textiles as 'disposable’ - and the craft of weaving is perceived as devalued.
Through these weavings, we’ll re-familiarise ourselves with the human input that goes into our clothing, and the skill, patience and craftsmanship of the makers.
These little woven studies are magical to do, and using a needle and thread is a great exercise for getting to grips with the basics of weaving without the complexity of the loom.
If you would like to purchase a materials kit, please get in touch with me well in advance of the workshop date.
If you'd prefer to gather your own materials, you will need:
- Three bases to weave around (I use A6 pieces of birch plywood, (postcard size) with 3mm thickness but you can use anything vaguely rectangular or square, just make sure its strong and won't bend. Tiles work well, old coasters, slate, some people have even used old books and record sleeves!)
- Double sided tape
- A needle (a regular sharp one will be fine, but I use a flat 'bodkin' needle)
- Yarn! You can use any yarn for this, though I would suggest starting with something on the thicker side. I will be demonstrating the first design using rug wool. Then I will move onto a regular knitting wool thickness, and then on to cotton embroidery floss (6 ply)
- Simulations of the woven structures to use as a guide (these will be sent out by email for you to print at home)
- Scissors (not your best fabric scissors, as we will be using these to cut tape)
- Pencil
- Ruler


A Zoom link will be sent to participants by email upon booking.
You will receive instruction manuals a week prior to the workshop, so that you can familiarise yourself with the method
A video recording of the workshop will be available afterwards, that you can look back on as many times as you like, at your own pace.

<h2>Design Sinking: How to Fail at Design Thinking - and How to Do It Better</h2>
<p>Design Thinking is ubiquitous these days. From developing new payment processes for car parks to optimizing the patient experience in public hospitals, from designing blockchain scenarios for savings banks to improving the employee experience at tech start-ups, from building intrapreneurial ventures for mobility providers to designing business models for aircraft parts logistics, from large-scale digital transformation campaigns on enterprise level to designing whole strategies of start-ups, SMEs and major corporations alike... Looking back to the last years as an innovation consultant and facilitator, the list could go on and on. Browsing all those cases one might easily get the impression that Design Thinking is some kind of 'magic wand' to just do it all - better, faster, cheaper and of course instantly ready for implementation, with a 100% guaranteed success rate. Germans would call it a 'Eierlegende Wollmilchsau' (engl. fig. 'egg laying wool-milk-pig'). Of course, it is not. Nevertheless, it has undoubtedly proven to be a highly important tool to master the transformations we're facing on so many levels.</p>
