2 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests       £40 (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join me for a relaxed and creative pottery painting session and personalise your very own piece of handmade pottery.
At the start of the workshop, you'll choose a hand-thrown mug or bowl, all individually made by me in my studio and bisque-fired, ready for decorating. Using a range of colourful ceramic underglazes, you'll create your own unique design while learning simple pottery decorating techniques.
No previous experience is needed. This session is perfect for complete beginners as well as anyone looking for a creative morning in a friendly studio setting.
Once your piece is finished, I'll carefully clear glaze and fire it for you, making it food-safe and ready to use at home.
Stratford-upon-Avon (exact location will be shared after booking).

Hi, I’m Sophie a ceramic artist and teacher with a degree in Design Crafts. My journey with clay began at university, where I fell in love with the immediacy and tactility of the material. What started as a creative exploration quickly grew into a lifelong passion for making and sharing the joy of pottery with others.
I’ve been teaching pottery workshops for the past two years, focusing on hand-building techniques that allow creativity and individuality to shine. I love showing students how to shape, texture, and form clay using just their hands and a few simple tools - no two pieces are ever the same. Watching people slow down, connect with the material, and discover their own creative rhythm is one of the best parts of what I do.
My work has been featured in Prima Magazine, and I was proud to be a potter on The Great Pottery Throw Down, Season 7. Through my classes, I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging space where creativity and confidence can flourish - and everyone leaves with something handmade and uniquely their own.
