Make Your Own Jug or Vase - Pottery Workshop

Get your hands into the clay and create your own jug or vase in this fun, laid-back beginner pottery workshop. Whether you're planning a creative day with friends, dreaming up a unique date idea, or just fancy trying something new, this hands-on session is a warm way into hand-building – no wheel required.Unlike wheel throwing, slab-building lets you work at your own pace, making it a wonderfully relaxing way to explore pottery while creating something beautiful and practical for your home.You'll start by choosing from three different jug and vase styles, giving you the freedom to shape a form that's entirely yours. Using traditional slab-building techniques, you'll learn how to construct and shape your chosen piece, with friendly guidance throughout to help you create something strong and beautifully finished.Once your jug or vase has taken shape, you'll explore a range of colourful underglazes and slips to bring it to life. Experiment with patterns, illustrations, textures, or bold splashes of colour – the possibilities are yours to discover.No previous experience is needed – just bring your creativity, an open mind, and a willingness to get a little messy.This workshop is perfect for:

• Creative retreats
• Date nights
• Birthday activities
• Hen parties
• Corporate team-building

By the end of the session, you'll walk away with a one-of-a-kind jug or vase you shaped and decorated yourself – a handmade keepsake that's as beautiful as it is functional, and proof of what your own two hands can create.Please note:

• This is a mobile studio experience, so we bring the pottery workshop to you. Our pricing is fully inclusive of studio setup, equipment transport and the dual-firing process for your finished ceramics within 15 miles of Wallington. For large corporate bookings or custom distances, click 'Request' for a tailored private quote.
• One jug or vase per person is included in the workshop, with extra pieces available to make for £5 each.
• As this is a mobile workshop, the host will need to provide a suitable space – enough room for each participant to sit comfortably and work, plus space for the teacher to demonstrate.
• The teacher will arrive in good time and be ready to start promptly. Please ensure the venue is accessible and the space is clear at least 20 minutes before the workshop begins, ready for set-up.
• Clay can get a little messy, so hard flooring is recommended. If your space has carpet or other flooring that could be damaged, please make sure it's protected before the workshop starts.

• All equipment and materials are provided – just show up ready to create.
• After the workshop, your pottery will be fired twice: first to harden it, then glazed and fired again to finish. Allow up to 4 weeks for your pieces to be ready.
• Collection and delivery: You'll be notified when your pieces are ready. Collect from our designated point at no extra charge, or we can post them to you via tracked mail for an additional delivery fee.
• A note about ceramics: Your pieces are made from natural materials, and the firing process can be unpredictable. Pieces may occasionally crack, warp, or show colour variations from the samples. Pieces unsuitable for food use due to construction issues aren't eligible for refund. If your piece is damaged during firing or transport, a £5 refund per piece will be offered. The class fee itself is non-refundable.
