Events at Blakemere

Come and enjoy another fantastic morning surrounded by some truly stunning cars. We’ll be joined by enthusiasts from across the Cheshire region, a healthy turnout from Capesthorne, and plenty more local car lovers. Whether you’re here for the classic lines, modern performance, or just the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.

After SELLING OUT this lovely Autumnal session over the last 2 years, we have decided to run it again. It will take place in The Studio, right next door to the main workshop. Included in the price is:

• • Session 1 – Tutor led session making the pumpkin from clay, from scratch. Please bring an apron or wear clothes you don’t mind getting a bit dusty. Suitable for beginners or keen potters alike! Advise 16+. You will leave your pumpkin with us to dry and fire. Your fired pumpkin will be ready in about 3-4 weeks depending on speed of drying. Tea and coffee included.
  •  Session 2 – You will return to paint your bisque fired pumpkin in your own time. You will be able to use our special glass frit glazes. You will leave it with us again and we will fire it, ready to collect approx. 2 weeks later.
  • (Short of time?…If you prefer not to return for session 2, we can simply put an overglaze on the bisque so you have a lovely, shiny white, neutral for any interior, pumpkin.)

The perfect Autumn workshop!

This project will include two visits to make and paint your Toadstool Fairy House or Witches Hat… you can choose which one you do….  and a third visit to collect your finished piece. (Both sessions included in the price).

This workshop is the first visit to make your Toadstool / Witches Hat out of clay. You will leave it with us to dry and bisque fire ready for you to come back for your second visit to paint. You will leave it with us to over-glaze and put through a second firing and we will contact you to collect it.

This workshop will be held in THE STUDIO, next door to the main workshop.

Suitable for beginners, keen potters and enthusiastic crafters alike!

For those aged 16+.
