6 x 2.5 hours Class size 1 to 4 guests       £290 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join us in our bright and spacious East London studio for a 6 week pottery course covering all aspects of the ceramics process.
During the course you will learn and experience:
  • How to throw on the pottery wheel
  • How to trim pots on the wheel such as adding foot rings and handles
  • Hand building techniques including pinching, coiling and slab building
  • How to use underglazes to add decoration
  • The basics of glazing and preparing your pots for firing
The course is suitable for both beginners who’ve never touched clay, and for those with some ceramics experience who’d like to learn more. We focus on the mindful benefits of working with clay, and provide a space to explore your creativity away from the stresses of life and screens. If you want to spend the sessions working on your own project, practicing a specific technique, or meeting people and learning a new skill, we’ve got you covered!
Unlike other teaching studios which have huge class sizes, we have a maximum of just 4 students on our course. This means you’ll receive heaps of hands-on tuition, and the course can be tailored to your individual needs and interests. Your teacher, Flo, will be on hand the whole time to support you at your own pace, and you can ask for guidance in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
All materials and firing are included in the cost, and you’re welcome to keep everything you make. At the end of the course, we’ll fire your chosen pieces and you can return to the studio to collect them a few weeks later.
What you'll get
There's no limit on what you can make! Most students make around 8-12 pieces, but this all depends on what you want to achieve and individual experience. Whatever you make on the course will be fired and you can keep forever. They'll be available for you to collect once the course is complete.
Knowledge required
Perfect for a range of experiences. If you've never touched clay and want a total introduction then this is ideal for you, but if you've done ceramics before and are looking to build on your experience then that's also great. The small course size means our teachers can tailor their advice to your individual needs and experience levels.
Session repeats

This class series runs over 6 consecutive sessions, at the same time every week.
