Make Ceramic Badges For St Ives Feast Day

Make badges with local clay to adorn your jackets on St Ives Feast Day 2025.

Each badge will be unique, decorated using surface relief approaches and stamps. All ages are welcome and you can take as little or as much time as you wish making your badge.

After the workshop the badges will be fired and ready for collection from the Leach Pottery Shop a few weeks later in time for Feast Day. The St Ives Feast is an ancient tradition that celebrates the consecration of the Parish Church of St Eia in 1434 and offers a rare chance to watch the game of Hurling the Silver Ball, a centuries old form of rugby.
