Brougham Hall’s ‘Make a Clay Snowman’ is back! Kits now on sale…

Last year 300 clay snowmen and women were on exhibition at Brougham Hall, made by members of the public. With such a success the call is out again for visitors of all ages to try their pottery skills and help build a bigger and better exhibition this year.

The project launches this week and kits are now on sale for £19.50. They come complete with full instructions for making at home, with the clay then being fired in kilns at Brougham Hall.

Watch out for drop-in sessions run by Brougham Hall potters - helping aspiring makers get in their swing; details will be shared on the socials and on broughamhall.co.uk

Sara Last and Mary Chappelhow, two of the six directors at Brougham Hall Community Interest Company said “Last year was a lot of work but what amazing support we had. It was brilliant to see all the special characters that appeared as snowmen. We had a beautiful exhibition with the snowmen and women returning home for Christmas. We’d love visitors to get involved, enjoy making a snowman and help raise funds for the upkeep of Brougham Hall”.

To get involved pop into Brougham Hall, pick up a kit and be part of the snowmen and snowwomen family.

Without his dedication, passion and determination Brougham Hall would not be what it is today.
