Make a Chess Set at Electric Bear Taproom

Pottymouth Workshop and Electric Bear join forces to bring you a night of clay and chess and pints!

In this immersive experience, participants will delve into the art of pottery while creating their very own half of a personalised chess set. This workshop combines the strategic depth of chess with the creative freedom of pottery, offering a unique and engaging activity for enthusiasts of both disciplines.

During the workshop, you will be guided through the process of hand-building each chess piece for your half of the set using clay, from the regal King and Queen to the valiant Knights and steadfast Pawns. With expert instruction and hands-on demonstrations, all clay abilities are welcome no previous experience needed!

Your finished item will be left with your hosts who will fire and glaze your work. You will be contacted to collect your completed chess set from your host within 3-5 weeks.

What to expect:

Dive into pottery and strategise your next move as you craft a personalised half of a chess set.
Create everything from the King to the Pawns in a hands-on clay session.
£4.50 pints all night!
Leave your masterpiece to be fired and glazed (choose from 2 glaze options on the night), and it’ll be ready for pickup in 3-5 weeks.
