CREATIVITY WORKSHOP

Spend some time nurturing your creativity and try your hand at the ancient art of coil built pottery.

Becky also studied archaeology, where she learnt the art of coil built pottery - first used thousands of years ago by Neolithic and Bronze Age people. Enjoy the meditative process of making pots from coils of this lovely tactile material, and then decorate them with plants and flowers from the gardens. This is your chance to while away some time getting engrossed in the process of creation, as our ancestors would have done before us!

Having spent her childhood on a farm and teenage years growing up in Bantham and exploring Dartmoor, Becky has always felt connected to nature and the great outdoors.
