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

Good to know

  • Price is for one Vase. Solo bookings available on request.

  • Small, intimate class — book early to secure your spot.

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

  • Pieces take approximately 12 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.

Ready to make something?

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