Join us for an unforgettable pottery workshop for you and your date! This is your chance to unleash your creativity and learn the art of pottery together. In this hands-on 2-hour class, you’ll each create your own mug using hand-building techniques, then paint it during the session. No prior experience is necessary, as our experienced instructors will guide you through the process step by step.
Don’t worry if you’re a beginner, as this class is designed to be relaxed and enjoyable. You’ll have the chance to explore different techniques, experiment with textures and colours, and express yourself through pottery. The calming nature of working with clay is not only therapeutic but also incredibly rewarding.
What makes this class extra special: you’ll also paint your mug during the session! With the extra time, you can add your own colours, patterns and personal touches to make your mug truly yours before you leave.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created and painted your own unique mug each. Your mugs will then be clear glazed and fired for you, and ready for collection in approximately 4 weeks.
*1 ticket is priced as a couple (2 people at £30 per person, total £60).
What’s included:
  • You each make and paint your own mug or bowl
  • All firings and clear glazing included
  • You’re welcome to bring your own drinks and nibbles
  • Please note that this is a group class, hosting up to 14 participants
Before You Book - Please Read:
We’re a small, independent pottery studio. We pour our hearts into every class and work hard to deliver beautiful results. Lead times: Ceramic pieces take approximately 4 weeks to fire. After the session they just need to be clear glazed and fired, which speeds up our process! Please note these are estimates and often take longer. We cannot speed this up or provide daily updates.
Refund policy: We do not provide refunds for completed workshops or firing outcomes. High-temperature firing is unpredictable by nature.
What we ask: Please read and accept our full Terms & Conditions before booking. Respect our team’s time and efforts.
Thank you!

Welcome to Fire Nest - a creative studio in the heart of Kempston West End, Bedford, founded by Will and Phoebe.
What started as a small candle-making studio has grown into a buzzing creative studio offering pottery painting, pottery making, candle making, perfume blending, glass fusing, clay clubs and seasonal workshops - all beginner-friendly, no experience needed.
Whether you're after a relaxed date night, a birthday celebration, a hen party, a catch-up with friends, or simply a new hobby to unwind with after work, there's something here for you.
We've welcomed customers every week for over seven years, and it's the little moments - the laughter, the mess, the finished pieces people are genuinely proud of - that keep people coming back and recommending us to friends and family.
