Handbuilding & Sculpting Garden Guardians with Di (Mud of Moon).
Slow down and spend a full day working with clay, story, and place in this immersive handbuilding and sculpting workshop with Diane from Mud of Moon.
Di will guide you through sculptural handbuilding techniques, helping you shape form, surface, and personality into your piece. Your creation may take on the presence of a guardian, nature spirit, or character inspired by your own imagination and environment, with room to explore organic textures, expressive features, and natural motifs.
You'll be guided through:
Building strong sculptural forms suitable for garden display or planting
Sculpting character, texture, and surface detail
Designing a finished piece ready for drying and firing
This workshop is suitable for beginners through to experienced makers. Di's gentle, intuitive teaching style supports both technical learning and creative exploration.
All materials and biscuit firing is included. Once complete, your work will be slow-dried and kiln-fired. Your terracotta plaque will be ready for collection in a few weeks - weather-safe and ready to gather moss and magic in the turning year.
