Q: Do I need any previous pottery experience?
No. Our classes are beginner-friendly and no previous pottery experience is required.
Q: What happens to my pottery after the class?
If you choose to keep your pieces, they will be fired and glazed in our kiln. Finished pieces are usually ready for collection 4–5 weeks after the class. We’ll email you when they’re ready, so please check your inbox and spam/junk folder
Q: How long will you keep my finished pieces?
We can store your finished pieces for one month from the date of our collection email. Due to limited storage space, pieces not collected within this period may be disposed of.
Q: Will my pottery definitely survive the firing process?
Cracking, warping or breakage can occur naturally during firing. We only refund the £5 materials and firing fee if a piece explodes during firing.
Q: Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
Bookings are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, regardless of the reason. This includes illness, injury, transport delays, traffic, emergencies, work commitments, weather conditions or changes to personal circumstances.
Q: What happens if I arrive late?
Please arrive 10 minutes before the class starts. If you arrive 30 minutes or more after the scheduled start time, we reserve the right to refuse entry. In this situation, no refund or rescheduling will be offered.
Q: Can I bring my child?
Participants must be aged 11 or over. This is an adult-paced class, so participants aged 11–17 must be able to work independently. Please contact us if you have any questions before booking.
Q: What happens if my class is cancelled by the studio?
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class due to low bookings or circumstances beyond our control. We will always make every effort to provide as much notice as possible. Our usual no-refund/no-rescheduling policy does not apply when a class is cancelled by us.
Q: What's the cancellation policy?
A: No cancellations or reschedules allowed
Q: How long does the class run for, and what's the price?
A: 2 hours - 3 hours, £35 - £50 per guest (price varies across dates)

We’ll make your first pot together, step by step, with plenty of guidance along the way.

Pick Your Favourites
Choose your favourite pieces to keep!
Firing and materials are £5 per piece. Choose from our blue, white or transparent glaze, and we’ll take care of the rest.
(Natural variations in glaze and texture are to be expected.)
Take Home Your Creations
We’ll fire and glaze your pieces, ready to collect in approximately 4–5 weeks. Finished pottery is food-safe, microwave-safe and oven-safe.
We’ll email you when your pieces are ready!
(As ceramics are handmade, natural variations in glaze, texture and size (approximately 15% shrinkage) are to be expected. In rare cases, pieces may crack or break during firing.)
- A minimum of 4 participants is required for the class to go ahead. If fewer than 4 are booked, we may cancel or reschedule.
- A £5 materials and firing fee applies per piece you choose to keep.

FAQ
Do I need any previous pottery experience?
No. Our classes are beginner-friendly and no previous pottery experience is required.
What happens to my pottery after the class?
If you choose to keep your pieces, they will be fired and glazed in our kiln. Finished pieces are usually ready for collection 4–5 weeks after the class. We’ll email you when they’re ready, so please check your inbox and spam/junk folder
How long will you keep my finished pieces?
We can store your finished pieces for one month from the date of our collection email. Due to limited storage space, pieces not collected within this period may be disposed of.
Will my pottery definitely survive the firing process?
Cracking, warping or breakage can occur naturally during firing. We only refund the £5 materials and firing fee if a piece explodes during firing.
Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?
Bookings are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or rescheduled, regardless of the reason. This includes illness, injury, transport delays, traffic, emergencies, work commitments, weather conditions or changes to personal circumstances.
What happens if I arrive late?
Please arrive 10 minutes before the class starts. If you arrive 30 minutes or more after the scheduled start time, we reserve the right to refuse entry. In this situation, no refund or rescheduling will be offered.
Can I bring my child?
Participants must be aged 11 or over. This is an adult-paced class, so participants aged 11–17 must be able to work independently. Please contact us if you have any questions before booking.
What happens if my class is cancelled by the studio?
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule a class due to low bookings or circumstances beyond our control. We will always make every effort to provide as much notice as possible. Our usual no-refund/no-rescheduling policy does not apply when a class is cancelled by us.

- 5/5 from Martha Orgles, attended May 2026: Incredible class! There was 11 of us so quite a lot of rowdy people to manage but the support and tutoring was amazing.

We all went hope with many useable, beautiful items.

- 5/5 from Amy Hoyle, attended Jan 2026: Very easy to gift card. I think great value for money. The teacher was great. The only thing I would add is that there was no toilet, so we had to use a nearby pub and it was a bit chilly so wear layers.
- 5/5 from Thea Aursnes, attended Aug 2025: Amazing teacher. So talented, patience and fun. We had the a blast, and it was really nice that the size of the class was so small. 10/10
