The people behind art studio This Art of Mine thought it would be funny to
re-create some 'Ghost' moments on the pottery wheels this Valentine's
day. Sadly there will be no topless Patrick Swayze but the challenge is for
you and your other half to help each other create a clay masterpiece. Once
you have completed your wheel throwing (and wiped away the tears of
laughter) enjoy designing and making your own heart message plaque.
10am & 2pm. Price: £40 per couple
