Welcome to my peaceful artists' studio in Haggerston, East London, near Shoreditch and Dalston – a place where you can create beautiful ceramics away from the city's hustle.
Join me and learn the principles of throwing on the potter's wheel in a relaxed environment at this one-to-one pottery workshop in East London. With my undivided attention, you'll be picking up the fundamentals of an amazing new skill in no time, and I will give you loads of tips to make the process more accessible – and fun!
A few days after your workshop, when the clay is firmer, I will give the bottom of your pots a trim, and when they're bone dry a few days later, they'll be fired a first time, then glazed with a transparent or white glaze, before a second firing at high temperature.
Please bear in mind that due to the unpredictable nature of ceramics, the results cannot be guaranteed – that's just part of the fun!
What you'll get
At the end of the session, I'll invite you to choose which of your creations (up to 2 pots) you would like fired.
Your pots will be ready for collection at the studio within 8 weeks' time (you will receive a confirmation email inviting you to collect).
Knowledge required
Totally beginner-friendly!
What to bring
Please bring an apron with you, and some clothes you don't mind getting dirty. For safety reasons, long hair should be tied up, and long nails trimmed.
Add-on available for this class
  • Pottery toolkit (£15)
You can add this when you book (optional).

I'm Violaine, a ceramic artist working from my studio in Haggerston, East London. I discovered my love for working with clay in 2018, after attending a few hand building and throwing classes, and a few years later left my career as a Design and Art Director to pursue my adventures in ceramics full-time.
I'm constantly exploring new techniques, recently focusing on the sgraffito surface pattern design technique, and pushing my skills to throw ever bigger vessels on the wheel.
With five years of teaching experience at a renowned London pottery studio, I invite beginner and intermediate potters to join me in my lovely artists' studio, where I offer a supportive environment to learn and create.
