Learn from a friendly ceramicist in a fully-equipped garden studio (just half an hour away from London) how to make and create your own pottery pieces!
With this pottery workshop, you will make and decorate unique creative objects such as pots, dishes, plaques, sculptures and more.
Don't worry if you're new to pottery, your friendly teacher will be with you every step of the way and will let you in on all their top tips and hand-building techniques.
