Ceramic Bee House Workshop

Create a home for solitary bees at this fun ceramics class in London!



2.5 hours Class size 6 to 30 guests    

  £35 - £54 (£35 for Public class; £54 for Private class)

Join us for a fun and hands-on ceramic workshop where you'll craft your very own solitary bee house using beautiful buff school clay or rich terracotta. This workshop is perfect for beginners and nature lovers alike—no previous clay experience needed!
You’ll be guided through the three essential handbuilding techniques—pinch, coil, and slab—before using your new skills to design and shape a unique, functional bee house.
Solitary bees are gentle, fascinating pollinators that need safe spaces to nest, and your handmade ceramic home will help support local biodiversity in your garden or balcony.
Once finished, your bee house will be fired in the kiln and posted to your home around 4-6 weeks after your workshop, ready to go or hang outdoors - welcome your new pollinator guests!
Proceeds go towards our community art projects, providing mental well-being and creative health, especially for those facing barriers.
What you'll get
  • Professional tools and materials. Aprons are provided. Firing and postage are all included in the ticket cost.
  • Refreshments including a glass of wine/bottle of beer if desired, tea/coffee, soft drinks, and nibbles.
  • Your finished pottery will be carefully wrapped and posted to you within 4-6 weeks after your workshop.
  • 10% off from our shop

  • 5/5 from Jacqueline Smith, attended Mar 2026: Our first visit to these warm and vibrant studios to make a ceramic bee house. The atmosphere was calm, the class size small and the tutor very friendly and patient. I definitely plan to return for a mosaic class!

The host was extremely welcoming and friendly and also offered us drinks which was very nice! We were then shown a variety of techniques that we could use to make our bee house which we really enjoyed learning about. Overall the experience was a very fun and very relaxing. Would highly recommend. Thank you for such a lovely experience.
  • 5/5 from Alan Johnston, attended Aug 2025: Our class teacher, Daisy, had an engaging approach and kept a watchful on our progress. After we'd been shown and applied some simple pottery techniques we were able to put our Bee House's together with encouragement from Daisy to be creative and use the tools available. The time passed quickly and it was good fun. Alan J
