FAQ

Where will the class be held?
Currently we’re running classes close to Oval tube station in South London. We’ll send you the address and instructions to find it when you’re booked in.
What should I wear to the class?
It’s best to wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting muddy, or an apron or overalls.
Should I book on my own or with friends?
Both are fine! We’ll have small class sizes (limited to 6 students) so that everyone can have the space and time they need. Everyone is welcome to book their spot!

Will I be able to glaze my work?
The Mini Pottery Workshop is a single-session, but we will fire and glaze your miniature creations for you in a colour of your choice. If you want to join for a separate glazing session and help glaze the mini pots, just get in touch!
When will I receive my finished piece?
Pottery takes 1 week to dry, and then will need to be bisque fired. We will then glaze the work for you and fire it again. Please allow for around 1 month from your class date. We'll be in touch when your piece is ready for collection

Fifty Shapes of Clay
Fifty Shapes of Clay

female Women-owned

I’m Tilly, founder of Fifty Shapes of Clay, and I've been making ceramics for 9 years. I firmly believe that everyone can delight and unwind by making things with clay and learning new skills together.
I started Fifty Shapes of Clay as a personal lockdown pottery project with the aim to create pottery at home without a kiln or full size wheel. The result was self-sufficient miniature pottery all made and fired at home. You can see examples of my work at tillyslight.com
From 2025 I’ll be expanding FSOC by offering pottery classes to help you get your hands dirty and your mind clear, starting with group Miniature Pottery Workshops on a mini pottery wheel!
