Unwinding – a longer, 2 hour session, designed with enough space for you to create two pieces each. Firstly, you’ll explore pinching to create an organic-shaped side plate for tapas or oils. Then you’ll learn how to drape-mould your choice of either a side plate or breakfast bowl using our bespoke studio moulds.
*We offer this workshop for a maximum of fourteen people due to spacing.

All your materials and firings are included and we dip-glaze all work from private sessions in a pretty, milky white glaze or a transparent glaze. You’ll see examples on the day and you can choose the one that best suits your work. And your pieces will be ready to collect around one month later.
If you’d like to add organic teas, natural wines or anything that would enhance your experience –– please enquire.

Children’s Parties –––– Fun, creative pottery birthday parties for your little ones
Below are some sample hand-building workshops we love running for younger groups. If you have something special in mind you’d like them to try, we’ll create a workshop just for you.

The front room of our light-filled studio can seat up to 16 children around two work tables (one, dining table height with benches and the other, workbench height with high stools).
There is of course room for each child to have a parent stay for the party, across our adjoining second room or watching over their shoulder at the workbenches.
Ages 4-16
We recommend four years and up but are more than happy to talk if you have a younger group. We also gladly accommodate mixed ages if you have older or younger siblings in attendance too.

All your materials and firings are included and for all workshops (except the Animal Sculptures workshop), we dip-glaze all children’s work in a pretty, milky white glaze. Animal Sculptures are left unglazed.
Alternatively, if you would love a wonderful add-on home activity for a future rainy day with your little ones, we can bisque-fire only, please let us know. Their bisque-fired creations can be painted with acrylics or any paints you have at home to make beautiful, decorative pieces (although not suitable for food/drink).
Your pieces will be ready to collect around one month later.
Due to the beautiful, experimental nature of children’s play with clay, we cannot guarantee every piece will survive the firing process — we encourage children to be mindful of incorporating air bubbles into their clay whilst building but as we can’t supervise every project on a 1:1 basis, occasionally, there are casualties. It is a normal part of the ceramics process.
