Y is for Y not try something different 

Y not try a pottery activity that takes place over 3 days - 3rd, 4th and 24th February? A couple of hours on each day will allow you to throw a pot, trim and finish it, then paint your pot for kiln firing.

The event takes place in the pottery studio at Rudolf Steiner School in Kings Langley, reserved specially for Mensa, and the entire course costs a bargain £10 per person plus a pound or two for the clay depending on the item you make. If you ever wanted to learn pottery then this is the ideal time. A lunch or dinner can be arranged before or after each class.

Booking with a deposit of £5 is necessary as we are limited to 10 people so please contact me on [Email] or [Phone Number] to reserve your place. If you cannot make all three dates then you may still be able to participate.
