What is it?

Let your imagination run wild this half-term at the Amazing Aliens themed tile decorating workshops at Jackfield Tile Museum in Shropshire’s Ironbridge Gorge.  Design a weird and wonderful creature inspired by the mysteries of outer space using your own choice of colours.

The Victorian tube lining technique will be used to decorate the 6 x 6 inch tiles, which are priced from £5 per tile (plus p&p to have your tile sent home after firing).  The drop-in workshops start from 10am, but allowing up to 1½ hours to decorate your tile, last admission is at 3.15pm.

Open 10am to 5pm, Jackfield is one of the Ironbridge Gorge Museums.
