During this 4-week course, you’ll be shown a variety of pottery techniques, from pinch pots to hand building, with a week throwing on the pottery wheel. Our classes are all about having fun and getting creative in a relaxed, informal setting.

Each week, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance of a different clay process, allowing you to craft your very own pieces. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced, our goal is for you to unwind, learn, and enjoy the process of working with clay.

We provide everything you need to bring your ideas to life, including aprons and all the necessary tools and equipment. The course runs for 2.5 hours per week, over 4 consecutive weeks, offering plenty of time to develop your skills and complete your projects. Commitment to all 4 sessions is required.

Held weekly for 2.5 hours over 4 weeks.

Fancy a brew? We’ve got you covered with great tea and coffee facilities - and of course biscuits! There is also a delightful selection of handmade mugs to choose from (although picking the perfect mug might take longer than it takes for the kettle to boil).

We use stoneware clay and custom in-house glazes, to make each piece food and dishwasher safe. We first fire to 1000 degrees, after which a glaze of your choosing will be applied and fired to 1230 degrees.

Our courses are kept small, so you get the full benefit of expert advice while in a cosy friendly setting, with a maximum of 6 students per course. All courses are designed for beginners, returners and people wanting to refresh their skills. Please note that as a small independent studio, we have limited space and can only store fired pieces for up to 12 weeks. There is an additional charge of £5 per kg of clay for work you would like to be fired and glazed. Your finished pieces will be weighed before the first firing at £5 per kilogram and must be paid for at the end of the course. (An average mug/bowl weighs around 250gms-£1.25). All will be glazed in your chosen in-house glaze. Most students in total over the 4 weeks will have an additional cost of £10-£15.  This course is designed for adults to explore their creativity- we have a range of other workshops to facilitate children’s exploration with clay.
