Celebrate the rich horticultural history, and how nature and food have long been a source for design and creativity in Battersea with fun flora and fauna 'dining' inspired workshops, popping up in the alcoves along this brightly coloured public pathway. Saturday 16th September, 2-3pm & 3.30-4.30pm. Always wanted to get your hands around clay and create your own tableware? Join a pottery workshop with local Battersea ceramic studio Muni London and learn to make a plate or mug, using slab or pinch pot techniques, then decorate them with imprinted leaves and flowers for that special botanic touch! All tuition and materials will be provided for you, but you are most welcome to bring any flowers or plants that have a special meaning for you and that you would like to imprint on your plate. Your pieces can be fired and you will be able to collect it 3 to 5 weeks after the workshop at Muni's studio. Wednesday 20th September 3-6pm ** NB.
