Awaken Ancient Magic in Your Garden: Sculpt Your Own God, Goddess or Green Man Plaque
Step into the mystical world of Druidic folklore and create a lasting tribute to the spirit of nature. Over the day, you will bring a face to life in clay—crafting your very own God, Goddess, or Green Man plaque, a powerful symbol of growth, decay, and renewal.
At the heart of this course is the art of sculpting a face. Under the expert tutelage of Diane, you’ll gain the confidence and techniques to transform raw clay into an expressive, character-filled visage.
You’ll learn how to:
  • Build an armature to support your design
  • Shape the structure and form of your plaque
  • Sculpt realistic or fantastical facial features from clay
  • Add personal embellishments—leaves, vines, horns, or other symbolic elements—to make it uniquely yours
  • Refine and finesse your sculpture into a finished work of art
Once your creation is complete, it will slowly dry before undergoing its firings in the kiln. Your terracotta plaque will be ready to collect a few weeks later with a rich, natural surface that welcomes the weather. Over time, it will develop a living patina of moss or algae—accelerated, if you like, with a little yoghurt or buttermilk.
This is more than a sculpture—it's a guardian of your garden, a reflection of your imagination, and a connection to ancient nature magic. Included in this course is all tuition, materials, equipment, clay and firings. Wear old clothes or feel free to bring an apron.
Please note: This course needs a minimum of 4 attendees to run. Due to the structure of this course, we are unable to offer catch-up classes. Please ensure you are available for the duration of the course. The studio is not responsible for any classes you are unable to attend.

Hi, I’m Carys Martin, and I’ve been living and breathing art for as long as I can remember.
I taught my very first workshop at just 15 years old, and that early experience lit a spark that’s never gone out. After earning my degree in Art in 1997 and a PGCE in 1998, I’ve spent the years creating, exhibiting, and sharing my love for art through teaching.
With over 35 years of teaching experience across the UK, US, and Australia, I’ve helped thousands of people tap into their creativity. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned maker, I aim to create a warm, welcoming space where you can explore, experiment, and grow.
Ceramics is my passion—there’s something magical about transforming clay into something both beautiful and functional. I exhibit and sell my own ceramic art and run all my workshops from my own studio—a vibrant, inspiring space where creativity flows freely. It’s not just my teaching home; it’s also a shared creative hub where other talented artists run their own workshops, making it a rich and ever-evolving space for learning and connection.
Teaching, for me, is about more than passing on skills—it’s about igniting confidence, joy, and self-expression. Creativity feeds the soul, and I truly believe everyone has the ability to make something meaningful.
If you're ready to try something new, get your hands dirty, and create something uniquely yours, I’d love to welcome you into the studio. Come join us—and let’s make something beautiful together.
