1:1 Private In-Home Improvers Pottery Class

Ready to build your confidence in your pottery skills and start creating pieces you'll actually love using? This tailored, home-based workshop is perfect if you know the absolute basics but still feel like a beginner – if thin walls, cracks and warping are your current reality and you're dreaming of consistently refined pieces, we'll help you get there.Learning at home is where the real magic happens. Unlike a busy studio where you might feel rushed or watched, practising in your own space means you can relax completely and focus on what matters – your progress. Because it's just you and your teacher, there's no studio intimidation or pressure. We'll dedicate 100% of the session to your personal clay goals, answer every question you have, and work entirely at your own pace.The best part? This workshop is shaped around exactly what you want to work on. This workshop is designed for primarily hand-building techniques, such as slab-building, pinch pots and coiling. You could practise creating a mug, jug, vase, platter or a more sculptural form. We can offer you the opportunity to learn a skill you've not yet tried, such as mono-printing or experimenting with slip and underglaze decoration on your forms. There is the opportunity for a 1:1 throwing session (by request), if you would like to troubleshoot the tricky basics, such as nailing your centering, pulling thinner and taller walls and getting your hands to work together. Bring your basic skills, your pottery questions, and a willingness to try something new!Please note:

• This is a mobile studio experience, so we bring the equipment to your home. Our pricing is fully inclusive of studio setup, equipment transport and the dual-firing process for your finished ceramics within 20 miles of Wallington. For custom distances, click 'Request' for a tailored private quote.
• The price includes firing one piece. Additional pieces can be fired for £5 each.
• As this is a mobile workshop, you'll need a suitable space – enough room to sit and work comfortably. A small dining table setup is ideal.
• The teacher will arrive in good time and be ready to start promptly. Please ensure the venue is accessible and the space is clear at least 20 minutes before the workshop begins, ready for set-up.
• Clay can get messy, so hard flooring is recommended. If your space has carpet or other flooring that could be damaged, please make sure it's protected before the workshop starts.

• All equipment and materials are provided – just show up ready to create.
• After the workshop, your pottery will be fired twice: first to harden it, then glazed and fired again to finish. Allow up to 4 weeks for your pieces to be ready.
• Collection and delivery: You'll be notified when your pieces are ready. Collect from our designated point at no extra charge, or we can post them to you via tracked mail for an additional delivery fee.
• A note about ceramics: Your pieces are made from natural materials, and the firing process can be unpredictable. Pieces may occasionally crack, warp, or show colour variations from the samples. Pieces unsuitable for food use due to construction issues aren't eligible for refund. If your piece is damaged during firing or transport, a £5 refund per piece will be offered. The class fee itself is non-refundable.
