Join this six-week pottery course in Margate and discover the joy of hand-built ceramics. You'll spend your sessions getting to grips with a variety of tactile techniques, ensuring you feel comfortable and inspired as you create.
Throughout the course, you'll learn how to:
  • Pinch and shape your clay – Master the foundational method of creating forms with just your hands.
  • Build with coils – Layer clay to create height and unique structures.
  • Use slab building – Roll out clay to construct more geometric or functional shapes.
  • Glaze your work – Add colour and finish to your pieces for a professional look.
Don't worry if you've never touched clay before; this experience is designed to be low-pressure and supportive for everyone. You'll have plenty of hands-on help as you explore each method, making it easy to switch off from the daily grind and focus on your new craft.
By the end of the seven weeks, you'll have gained a rewarding new skill and a lovely collection of handmade pieces to take home, use, and show off to friends and family. It's the perfect way to spark your creativity and leave with a sense of accomplishment.

Hola! I’m Carolina, the ceramist behind Pik Ceramics.
I fell in love with clay during lockdown and haven’t stopped since.
One of the highlights of my journey was a trip to Bali, where I did a 10-day workshop with Sarah Pike at Gaya Ceramics. It was incredibly inspiring and I learned so much.
I was also featured in London Potters magazine, where I shared a bit about my experience.
Over the years, alongside making, I realised I really enjoy teaching too. That led me to open a pottery studio within Studio J1H in Margate–Broadstairs, where I now run classes and workshops.
