Join in the Easter family workshops at Coalport China Museum, near Ironbridge where you make your own Tea Light Holders, inspired by the beautiful and intricate china cottage models known as the Coalport Pastille Burners. The 'Home Sweet Home' hands-on sessions will be held 30th March - 3rd April and 6th - 10th April.
Go along and try your hand at making a Tea Light Holder by sculpting a cottage, castle or lighthouse from clay. Once fired you can put a small candle inside your sculpture and transform it into a beautiful Tea Light Holder. Throughout the holidays you can also sculpt a clay creation of your choice and take it home unfired, paint a delicate china flower or fridge magnet, or join in paper based activities.
