HOME STUDIO POTTERY WORKSHOPS

Pottery is one of the oldest and most widespread of the arts. I have long held a passion for ceramics and am delighted to be able to share my love of clay with you from my home studio. Each object leaves individual marks from the making process, and when we create something from clay, we inevitably leave a little piece of ourselves in that object. It is a tactile, sensory experience, reconnecting with Mother Earth. I aim for you to create a piece of art you will take home and cherish.

The small and bright pottery studio provides a great opportunity for individual tuition or two people sharing. I use stoneware clay and will fire in an electric kiln.

The workshops are structured to be fun and creative, allowing your imagination to run wild during your tuition. No prior knowledge or art skills are required.

CERAMICS TASTER

A half-day workshop is an enjoyable introduction to clay. We will discover basic slab building and create a pinch pot, then learn how to apply a surface pattern.

Duration: 4 hours

Cost: Mon–Fri £95 per person, this includes 1 piece of clear glazed pottery

Sat/Sun £20 surcharge per person.

Should you wish to have more of your creations glazed and fired there is an additional charge of £5 per lb fired weight.

HIRE THE STUDIO

My weekday hourly rate for using the studio is £25pp/hr, this is for hand-building or glazing. If you attend either the Taster or Beginner Workshop you are welcome to return to the studio to glaze your pieces.

I would allow 1-2 hours per piece, depending on the complexity of your desired glazing process.

What You Need To Bring:

  • Your desire to learn and have fun!
  • Any projects which may inspire you
  • You’ll want to wear old clothing – I have some aprons but feel free to bring your own
  • (btw, fingernails get in the way of clay…!)

The Makers House

Join me for pyrography and clay workshops in this bright, warm, welcoming studio space.

Daytime, weekends, or adult evening sessions.

All workshops are suitable for beginners, but if you already have experience you are welcome to join in and bring your own themes/ideas

The true perfection of a handmade pot comes from the impossibility of ever creating another piece exactly like it!
