Welcome to Cernamic
Welcome to our Deptford studio! 🏺✨
Get comfy, grab an apron, and get ready to get creative!
Clay, tools and aprons are all provided, so all you need to bring is yourself. Feel free to bring your favourite drink, too! ☕️🥤
📍 Finding us:
We’re right next to Deptford Bridge Station. Look for the doors with shutters and ring the bell when you arrive!
Choose Your Piece
Choose a cup or plate to paint, or upgrade to one of our larger shapes for an additional fee.
Get Creative
Pick up your brushes and bring your design to life with our ceramic paints. Take your time, get creative and let your imagination run wild — our tutor will be there to guide you along the way.
Ready for the Kiln
Once you’ve finished painting, we’ll dip your piece in transparent glaze and fire it. Your finished creation will be ready to collect in approximately 4–5 weeks, and we’ll email you when it’s ready!
(As each piece is hand-painted, natural variations in paint colour and finish are to be expected. In rare cases, pieces may crack or break during firing.)

- No cancellations or rescheduling are permitted. This does not apply if we cancel the class.

Your teacher
A rare and hidden pottery Eden in the heart of east London, Stoke Newington. Cernamic studio in Stoke Newington was founded, created, and built during the first lockdown of the pandemic, through hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. Nam and Susi two professional ceramicists run this fun and affordable pottery studio open for everyone from all walks of life.Nam Tran is an award-winning practitioner who gives lectures and demos at universities and exhibits internationally. A ceramic lecturer and head of the departments in design and multi-media with Kensington and Chelsea college. Nam specialises in wheel-thrown raku, bringing years of experience and craftsmanship to every object made.Tran's work is focused primarily on exploring the physical properties of clay and material experimentation is a strong characteristic of his work. He has been developing making enclosed forms that are much stronger than open forms and therefore resonates well with the alternative firing technique he uses. His work is dominated by thrown pieces that subtly echo the urban roots and conceptual design. Nam Tran first made pots as a teenager on a wheel in his own bedroom and remembers being captivated by the experience. With his unique alternatives methods and approach to ceramics, Nam Tran identifies rules and manipulates and bends them.
