Summer at the Usher Gallery - Clay figurines workshop

Looking for something to do with the kids this half term? Why not try clay figuring making at the Usher Gallery.

This workshop will be led by local potter Victoria, who will guide you in creating your own air-dry clay figurines that you can take home to paint.  

Monday 11 August 2025, 1pm – 4pm, Drop in

Please note this workshop is £2 however there is no need to book. Simply pay £2 at reception upon your arrival. 

What to expect:

This workshop is taking place in the Clore learning room at the Usher Gallery. The Clore learning room is accessible from the entrance of the Usher. To find the Clore learning room, enter the Usher gallery by the glass extension entrance and go to the main door on the left. There are ramps and wide doors to accommodate wheelchairs, and a disabled access toilet opposite the Clore learning room door, behind the reception desk.

This session will run from 1pm – 4pm, you are welcome to take break or drop in and out of the session as you please. 

In this event you will be invited to use clay tools and your hands to hand build an air-dry clay figurine.

This may be challenging if you have difficulty with hand dexterity, but Victoria will be on hand on the day to assist where required. The workshop will have spaces for up to 15 people at a time so it may be noisy, to help you with this we have noise cancelling headphones and fidget toys available.

Here at Lincoln Museum and Usher Gallery, we welcome all participants; if you still aren’t sure whether this workshop is accessible for you or someone you care for, please email us at ushergallery@lincolnshire.gov.uk and we can discuss your access requirements
