Tile Decoration Workshop 10-12 & 1-4pm
We are making thousands of tiles to adorn the walls of the forthcoming Learning & Production Studios and invite everyone to decorate them. After decorating during these free workshops, the tiles will be fired and glazed and then become part of the new building for all to see. The tiles will take inspiration from motifs which recurred across the work of Bernard Leach, wider Leach Pottery’s history, reference local landmarks and tell the story of the St Ives community.
