Rootlets Singing Group
2026-06-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Y Plas, Pentrerhedyn St, Machynlleth, SY20 8ER
Rootlets is a “bring your own baby” singing group that meets every week during term time in the John Edwards room at Y Plas, Machynlleth on Friday mornings from 11-12.
All carers and all ages of children are welcome.
Booking essential.
We’ll sing a mixture of Welsh and English children’s and “grown-up” songs, with repertoire from my Thursday choir (Rooted Voices).
Please note:
All adults must be accompanied by a child.
Bookings are intended to be for families: you can book a block and switch the adult who comes with the child each time (also fine for both parents/carers to attend with one child). You can also bring siblings free of charge.
If you share childcare with friends and want to bring children from more than one family along, that’s also OK, as long as you can responsibly and reliably look after all the children you bring with you.
Each child from a separate family should have a separate booking.
I recommend a ratio of 1 adult to 2 children if both are under 4.
To come along, please book a half term block

The class will be held from 12 until 1.30pm every Friday

Friday Pottery Club
2026-06-19 13:30 - 15:00 | The Pottery, Church Street, Builth Wells, LD2 3AP
What to Expect When Joining a Pottery Class
Pottery classes offer a unique opportunity to explore creativity, learn a new skill, and unwind from daily stress. Whether you are a complete beginner or have some experience, joining a pottery class can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience. This article will guide you through what to expect when you sign up for a pottery class, helping you prepare and make the most of your time.
When you first join a pottery class, you will likely be introduced to the basics of working with clay. This includes understanding the different types of clay, how to prepare it, and the essential tools you will use. Most classes start with simple hand-building techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab building. These methods help you get comfortable with the material before moving on to more advanced techniques like wheel throwing. Alex Allpress will demonstrate each step clearly, and you will have plenty of time to practice. Expect to get your hands dirty as you learn to shape and mould the clay. It’s a tactile experience that requires patience and a willingness to experiment. You will learn about the properties of clay and how it behaves when wet and dry.
