Come along to this BYOB art studio in Smithfield. for a creative night of pottery, drinks, music, interactive games and prizes – and leave with something you’ve made yourself.
No pottery experience? Don’t worry, you will be guided along the way by your host to bring your creation to life.
Hosted by Alternative Dublin, don’t miss this chance to get creative, have a few drinks and enjoy a different kind of night to start the Hallowe’en season.
Alternative Dublin is an artist collective hosting events, tours & parties. Forget typical tourist traps and forget about the green fields of Dublin. We will show you the city that doesn’t make it onto the postcards, but it’s the Dublin locals and visitors alike love.
