Virtual Flowerpot Making

FAQs

Please describe your Virtual Show in detail.

Guests create handmade, ceramic flowerpot characters during an engaging and relaxing workshop; each pot will have its own unique personality and botanical hairstyle.

Hosted over Zoom, The Virtual Flowerpot Party is a 90-minute activity where you will learn simple pottery techniques and be guided step-by-step to create your unique plant pot character. 

Guests begin with a short warm-up activity that encourages sharing ideas, sparks the imagination, and helps us think of the different features we could add to our pots (10-15 minutes).

Then we dive into the pottery, where the host will guide you step-by-step to build your basic pot. During this time, you will learn basic pottery techniques and gain a better understanding of the material (45 minutes).

Afterward, the host demonstrates various ideas for creating additional features and adding them to your creations.

Everyone is invited to share their new flowerpot creations with the group at the end of the session! Potters can continue working after the session if they wish, and all aftercare instructions are included in the pack.

Can your show be customized for clients? If yes, how, please provide as much detail as possible. What is the lead time to create the customization?

Yes. Flowerpot kits can include personalized notes or branded material. Live sessions can be tailored to individual client needs (e.g., focus on team building or a specific theme for the session).

Do you offer both pre-recorded and live-streamed shows? If so, how long do you require to create a pre-recorded video for a client?

There is a pre-recorded video available; however, our artist currently does not create custom pre-records for clients.

Where is your show set up?

The artist has a studio equipped with professional filmmaking equipment and lighting, which she uses for the pre-recorded video. Live sessions are conducted from here and sometimes from home.

How many cameras do you use in your virtual show, and what is the quality?

The host uses one camera, as she has found that multiple cameras in a Zoom session can be confusing.

What levels of interaction are there with live audiences? How does this work?

During live sessions, she encourages as much social interaction as possible. This is of crucial value – during the warm-up activity, guests are encouraged to unmute and engage in conversation.

What platform do you prefer to use for your Virtual Show? What other platforms have you used?

Our host prefers Zoom as it works best for her class. Google Meet and Microsoft Teams are not as effective for the workshops.

Do you have a technician that helps with the setup of your virtual show? If not, please detail how you cope with technical issues during a live stream.

No, but our potter often has an online assistant during larger bookings to assist with any technical issues.

Do guests need anything to be able to participate? 

Yes, they need a pottery package that is sent to participants before the event. The kit contains everything needed for the session, including:

• Terracotta Air-Dry Clay

• Succulent or Cactus 'Hairstyle' OR 'Grow Your Own Hairstyle' Seed Kit

• Sculpting Tools

• Coloured Paper & Pens, Paintbrushes

• A3 'Hall Of Fame' Poster (for inspiration!)

• Aftercare Guide

Currently, kits ship to the UK, but they can also be shipped to Europe. 

Is there a minimum and maximum number of attendees that can take part in the show?

There is no minimum, and a maximum of 20 people for a typical session. However, this can be expanded to up to 80 participants if using an assistant and break-out rooms.

Are you happy to have a technical call or rehearsal session with the client in advance of the show? The technical call must be in the show location with the same connection:

Yes.
