Ceramics courses

Whether you are new to clay or returning with years of practice, we meet you where you are — with structure, patience, and room to play.

Find your level

We announce new course dates at the start of each month. Members receive priority notice and reduced rates.

Beginner

No prior experience needed. Fundamentals of clay, handbuilding, and first steps on the wheel.

Intermediate

For makers with prior courses or solid self-practice — refining form, trimming, and surface.

Advanced

Custom focus with experienced teachers — complex forms, larger scale, or glaze development.

Most popular

Taster classes

The quickest way to get your hands dirty. In one afternoon you try handbuilding and wheel throwing with two teachers — ideal before committing to a full course.

  • Level: Beginner
  • Duration: 3.5 hours
  • Keep your handbuilt piece (glazed & fired)

Halfway through you switch tables and techniques. Wheel attempts stay in the studio; your handbuilt mug or form is glazed by us and ready to collect after about three weeks.

Structured learning

Multi-week courses

Pottery is slow. These courses give you weekly practice, technique, and space to find your own way with clay — ending with a glazing session and pieces to take home.

  • All-round (wheel + handbuilding) · 8–12 weeks
  • Wheel throwing · 8–10 weeks
  • Handbuilding · 8–10 weeks

New to ceramics? We recommend All-round. Prefer one technique? Choose wheel or handbuilding. After a course, many students move into membership for independent making.

Sunday sessions

A balance between regular classes and working independently. Each Sunday you continue where you left off — with a teacher present for guidance when you need it.

  • Level: All levels (after a taster or course)
  • Cycles of 6 Sundays
  • Own projects welcome
