Wine & Design - Ceramic Pinch Pot

Channel your creative energy and join us for a night of wine and design

Hosted by the wonderful team from Three Cups of Tea Ceramics, be inspired, get creative, and make your own unique ceramic pinch pot.

During this workshop you will sculpt and decorate your own ceramic pinch pot inspired by the museum's leopard seal. Learn to roll clay flat, cut out shapes, and join pieces of clay together, before adding textures and personality with drawings, natural materials and clay stamps.

*Three Cups of Tea* is a creative collaboration between Elise Johnston and Karen Taylor O'Neill. Their ceramics, handmade in small batches in Ōtepoti Dunedin, are durable and designed to be used. Drawing inspiration from the colours and creatures of New Zealand's wild places, this is expressed in their range of coloured glazes, and hand drawn images of endemic birds and trees are a feature of their products. The rituals and pleasure of sharing moments with friends and family over cups of tea is at the heart of their collaboration.

After pots have been made, they will be fired and glazed by Three Cups of Tea Ceramics in a soft white glaze to enhance the surface decorations. The finished pieces can then be collected from Tūhura Otago Museum. All materials will be provided for the workshop but participants are encouraged to bring their own apron.

Bring your friends, or make new friends, and create something lovely while sipping a glass of Quartz Reef wine in the beautiful Museum Atrium.

Tickets are $65 and include everything you need to make your own ceramic pinch pot, wine from Quartz Reef and canapés! Cash bar also available.
