01

Settle into the studio

We begin with the piece you’re making, the clay body, and the quiet techniques that will guide the session.

02

Build your form

You’ll shape, refine, and surface your piece with guidance that keeps the process calm and approachable.

03

Leave it with us

We glaze and fire your work, then let you know when it’s ready to collect from the studio.

“Such a great workshop! You get stuck in right away and get making from start to finish.”

What people say

★ 5.0 on ClassBento · 543 reviews

“Our teacher was friendly and gave each person (8 of us) attention and guidance.”

Scarlett H. · Sep 2026

“Really lovely and helpful teachers at pottery throwing, couldn’t recommend more!”

Good to know

  • Hand-building class — no wheel involved. Great if you prefer a quieter, more sculptural approach.

  • Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on.

  • Pieces take approximately 8 weeks for firing. We'll notify you when ready.

Important notes

Glaze results vary naturally due to chemical reactions during firing. Pieces may occasionally crack during firing due to air bubbles or uneven surfaces; these outcomes are not refundable. Collect your piece within one month of notification. Pieces not collected after that are discarded.

Book your place and we’ll take care of the clay, tools and glaze.
