Family Workshop: Bird Buffet – Ceramic Plate Painting

Sat 11 April 2026

Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet

Back by popular demand, get creative in our ceramic painting workshop and decorate a plate inspired by the birds around us at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet. 

 

Our birds at the Hamlet do like a good meal but they can be very choosy about what they eat – decorate a plate to entice them!

This creative session is suitable for the whole family to do together. All materials will be provided and no experience required.   The plates will need to be baked once home to set the paints. Instructions on how to do this will be available at the workshop  

Previous attendees have said:  

“It’s useful to try something new at a reasonable price.”  

“I liked that it gave us some wholesome family time.”  

Sessions run for 50 minutes. Please arrive at the start time of your ticket to ensure maximum time during the workshop. Children and adults are invited to take part – please book a ticket for each child and each adult who will be participating in the workshop.  All ticket holders will be creating a decorated plate each.  All children need to be accompanied by an adult.
