A Day in Clay - Make Your Own Altar | Day Retreat at Walmer Castle
Due to popular demand, A Day in Clay: Make Your Own Altar is coming to the beautifully historic setting of Walmer Castle on Saturday 16th May for a nourishing day retreat in collaboration with Ramsgate Pottery.
This special hands-on workshop is an invitation to slow down, get creative, and reconnect with yourself through the grounding practice of working with clay. Guided throughout the day, you’ll design and create your own unique altar - a deeply personal piece to hold intention, ritual, or meaning.
Our wonderful teachers, Gillian Farrell and Vivienne Yankah, are talented ceramicists and experienced facilitators who will support you every step of the way, whether you’re completely new to clay or already love working with it.
Nourishment will be lovingly prepared by Eleanor Yankah, our retreat chef, who has studied at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London and is rooted in Ayurvedic principles. Expect vibrant, seasonal dishes thoughtfully created to energise and sustain you, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the creative process.
Set within the inspiring surroundings of Walmer Castle, this day retreat offers the perfect opportunity to pause, explore, and create in beautiful company.
Come to play, connect, and leave with something truly personal to treasure.
Spaces are limited. Please message us for further details or to book your place.

Lovely day; great hospitality and a wonderful group of people making it easy to be creative.
My second time at the Day in Clay (that says it all really) and this time I brought a friend with me who came all the way from London!! The warm and friendly space created by Gillian, Viv and Ellie means that I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed the experience, being able to make the altars, learning something new, meeting lovely people and at the same time enjoying Ellie’s yummy food and vegan cakes! Thank you team DIC! This is a brilliant day out whether on your own or with friends.
Such a lovely day, time to plan and create with delicious lunch and sweet treats. Would definitely recommend and book again.
