Kelham Makes: Jesmonite Plant Pots

Create your own miniature plant pots with artist and maker Kim Searle using Jesmonite, a versatile material that creates a different pot every time.  

Pots can be made with pale pastels or vibrant shades, block colours or fantastic marbled effects. You’ll get to try a type of Jesmonite that sets in a variety of styles and will be ready to take away with you by the end of the session. 

In this session, you'll learn how to weigh it, mix it, add colours and textural effects, as well as try a variety of geometric and recycled moulds to create a pot unique to you. 

All materials are provided. No experience necessary. 

Kim Searle runs Darn It! Workshops across the country, delivering creative sessions in venues including festivals, galleries and community spaces. With a focus on sustainability and wellbeing, Kim is passionate about facilitating workshops that build communities and encouraging accessibility. Kim also co runs Thread Republic, a Textile Reuse Hub in Huddersfield. 

There’s also another Jesmonite workshop earlier in the day where participants will create their own Jesmonite coaster– find out more here.
