Pet Project Bisque Pottery Workshop

Feeling inspired by Pippa Hale: Pet Project? Join Mud & More Pottery to paint your own bisque pottery cat or dog, cast from 18^th and 19^th objects in The Bowes Museum’s collection. Each piece will be fired off-site in Mud and More’s kiln, and you’ll have three weeks to return and collect your unique creation.

Please note: When reserving your place on the workshop, please select the number of bisque pottery sculptures you would like to decorate under ‘Bisque Pottery charge’. Bisque Sculptures are charged at £12.50 each. Your bisque creation will be coated in non-toxic glaze and fired in an eco-kiln. There’s always a risk of breakages when pottery is fired so there may be imperfections to the finished product. The charge is non-refundable.

Spaces are limited so booking is essential. Appropriate for all ages. Under 14s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Workshops will run every Saturday from 6 September – 28 February 2026* in the exhibition gallery. *except 26 December 2025.
