Join me for a relaxed and creative three-hour workshop, where you’ll learn to hand-build and decorate your very own ceramic tea light house. This adult-only pottery workshop (18+) is perfect for complete beginners. You’ll be guided through each step - from shaping the clay to cutting windows and adding your own unique details.
You can choose to decorate your tea light house with your own designs or keep it simple with a timeless white glaze.
After the workshop, your piece will stay at the studio to be carefully dried, glazed, and twice-fired, making it heat-resistant, durable, and ready to bring a warm, flickering glow into your home. Finished tea light houses will be ready to collect 5-6 weeks later, or can be posted for an additional cost.
Come along for a cosy afternoon with friends, or join solo and meet like-minded people in a welcoming atmosphere. By the end, you’ll have crafted a beautiful, functional piece of pottery to treasure.

Workshop Details
  • Cost: £65 per adult
  • Duration: 3 hours

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.
