Embrace folklore and creativity at this cosy adult clay workshop, where you’ll sculpt your very own ceramic gonk – a whimsical, Nordic-inspired figure rooted in tradition.

A gonk?

In Scandinavian and Nordic folklore, gonks are mischievous but kind-hearted creatures believed to protect homes and bring good luck. Often likened to gnomes or hobgoblins, Gonks are recognised by:
•  A bulbous nose
•  A tall, pointy hat (usually pulled low to hide their eyes)
•  A long white beard

Crafted with care, a happy gonk perched on a mantel is said to ward off misfortune.

This two-hour workshop is a wonderful way to engage in a hands-on, creative activity while learning about traditional clay crafting techniques. 

All items will be fired and will be ready for collection roughly 4 weeks after the workshop.
