What to Expect

Create a beautiful handmade plant pot in this friendly, small-group Jesmonite workshop. Learn how to mix, pour, cast and finish your own unique plant pot to a professional standard before planting a plant in it!

    • Learn the process – Saskia will guide you through the materials, moulds, colour techniques, and creative possibilities of working with Jesmonite.

    • Create your designs – Mix, pour, and customise your own plant pot, choosing colours and effects that reflect your personal style.

    • Take a creative pause – While your piece sets, enjoy refreshments and take part in a relaxed fun creative activity

    • Reveal your creations – Carefully remove your plant pot from the mould and discover the unique patterns and colours you've created.

    • Finish like a professional – Learn how to sand, refine, and polish your piece to a high standard, ready to take home and enjoy.

    • Plant – Choose from a selection of plants to leave with a finished pot complete with plant.

  • More than just a workshop, this is an opportunity to switch off, get creative, and enjoy a few hours of mindful making. With a balance of guided learning, creative freedom, and plenty of fun along the way, you'll leave with beautiful handmade pieces, new skills, and the satisfaction of having made something uniquely yours.

  • Lovely time spent with Saskia guiding us through the process of making resin pots . She gave me the knowledge but then let us freestyle with our own style and colours, to various degrees of success . Highly recommended way to spend a few hours in Brighton

  • "4 of us booked on to the plant pot workshop with Saskia and LOVED it. We had such a great time. Saskia is really welcoming and friendly and created such a lovely atmosphere in which we could feel free to just try things out. We all came out with our own designs and unique plant pots. I absolutely recommend this for a really enjoyable, fun but also calming workshop."
