Learn the art of hand-building pottery in this relaxed, beginner-friendly workshop at Coffee Goat in Dartford. This is all about slowing down, getting creative, and making something beautiful that you'll actually use every day.
You'll learn to shape your pottery from scratch – no experience needed whatsoever – then add your own personalisation with textures and stamps that make your piece genuinely yours. You'll be guided step-by-step throughout, working at a pace that feels comfortable in a welcoming atmosphere where it's perfectly fine to get a little messy and make happy accidents. By the end of the session, you'll have created something entirely with your own hands, and the satisfaction of that is real.
Every date is a different piece! Please check what you'll be making. For reference, some of the workshops include slab building mugs, drape moulded trinket trays, sgraffito, and clay lamps!
Once you're done, your piece goes off to be professionally fired and glazed, returning to you fully functional and dishwasher safe – ready to become part of your everyday life. Whether you're taking a solo creative afternoon for yourself, catching up with friends whilst making something, or looking for a thoughtful gift that's one-of-a-kind, this workshop delivers that feel-good moment of creating something that matters.
What you'll get
  • A handmade ceramic piece.
  • Kiln firing and glazing included.
  • A finished piece ready to use and dishwasher safe.
  • Guidance throughout the session.

Hello, we're Jung and D'Arcy. We are two artists who love art, craft, and creating welcoming spaces for people to make things together. Our workshops are rooted in a shared love of hands-on creativity, experimentation, and the idea that art should feel accessible, social, and fun.
Jung brings a teaching and engineering background, with experience in rehabilitation and assistive technologies, which shapes our approach to workshops in a thoughtful and inclusive way.
D'Arcy brings the fine art knowledge and practical skills that ensures our workshops are educational and based in proper techniques.
We care about making creative sessions feel approachable, well-guided, and enjoyable for beginners as well as more experienced makers.
We started this because we wanted to build the kind of creative community we were looking for ourselves, especially a social and welcoming space for queer artists and creatives to hang out, learn new skills, and have fun together. We also know how expensive it can be to get into crafts on your own, so our workshops are a way for people to try new processes and materials without having to invest in everything themselves.
Our workshops are informal, friendly, and community-led, with a focus on creativity, connection, and making art feel more accessible to more people.
