We have classes suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience running throughout the year. We keep the classes small so that we can tailor our teaching to your needs. All materials are included in the class fee with a small additional charge for firing by weight of finished work.

We run regular full-day workshops on Saturdays where you have the chance to explore specific processes and projects in-depth. Coming up soon are a throwing intensive, using and making sprig moulds, surface decoration techniques and plaster mould making.

The taster sessions are a brilliant way to start your journey with clay and get to know the studio. Run on alternate Saturdays our 3.5 hour tasters will give you a good introduction to throwing on the wheel, hand-building and techniques for adding colour and decoration to your work.

Experienced potters can use the studio independently by becoming open access members. We have two levels of membership to suit the amount of time you would like to spend in the studio each week.

We also have drop-in open access sessions for existing students who would like more time to develop their work. 

We regularly host pottery parties for adults, children and family groups.  Team building and well-being clay workshops for corporate and community organisations, INSET training for schools, taster sessions for private groups and one-to-one sessions. Please email the studio to give us an idea of your requirements.
