Settle into the studio

Build your form

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

Important notes

Important notes

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.

Bookings are non-refundable. Need another date? We may be able to move your booking within 3 months, for 60% of the class price. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we can’t let you join.

Studio S-02, second floor, 57 Gorst Road, Park Royal, London NW10 6LS. About 10 minutes’ walk from North Acton (Central line). Workshops at the new studio begin on 10 October.
