More Information (The Voice is not responsible for external websites)

Tutor: Helen McCormick
Helen will guide you through traditional hand-building techniques to shape your figure and add beautiful floral and natural details that capture the spirit of the season. No experience necessary — just come ready to relax, create, and enjoy.

Your finished sculpture will be left unglazed, allowing it to age naturally in your garden and blend with the elements over time.

All materials and equipment are provided. Tea and coffee will be available throughout the day — please bring a packed lunch, an apron, and wear old clothes if possible.

After the workshop, I’ll take your sculpture home to be fired in my kiln. It will be ready to collect approximately six weeks later. We will let you know the time and date.
Please note: The event will take place at The Guildhall, Barnstaple, due to essential building works at St Anne's. For wheelchair users, the Guildhall is wheelchair accessible through a side entrance with level access.
