???? Quirky Bird Incense Holder Workshop ????
Create a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition bird incense holder in this playful and calming pottery workshop.
Using stoneware clay, you’ll hand-build your own quirky bird and bring it to life with character, texture, and charm. A special highlight of the session is learning how to apply delicate floral transfer sheets to your bird’s belly — an eye-catching technique that instantly adds beautiful colour and pattern.
This gentle process will be demonstrated step by step, making it easy to follow for beginners while still inspiring more experienced makers. You’ll have access to a range of interesting tools and materials to texture and personalise your creation.
Your finished piece will be a functional artwork to treasure — perfect for daily use and filling your home with soothing herbal aromas.
Held in my calming and welcoming home studio, this workshop is a lovely opportunity to slow down, meet like-minded creatives, and enjoy a hands-on experience.

Hi, I'm Marika, a self-taught ceramic artist based in the picturesque county of Northamptonshire.
What started as a hobby has grown into a thriving hand-building pottery studio — classes now fill up fast, and the waiting list keeps growing. I've taught hundreds of beginners and more advanced students the hand-building techniques I love most, always leaning into quirky, fun and colourful projects along the way.
I also run private classes for small groups of up to eleven — perfect for birthday parties, unique hen dos, team building days, or family Christmas get-togethers. Whatever you're celebrating, I'll tailor the session to suit your group.
Every student creation gets carefully placed on the drying shelf, then loaded into my faithful Rohde Ecotop kiln for a bisque and glaze fire. I look after each piece as if I'd made it with my own hands — because every piece is special, and deserves individual love and care.
I spent many years as a full-time art teacher in secondary schools, and I love bringing that same patience and encouragement into my studio. My classes are easy to follow, relaxing, fun, and confidence-building.
I also host private group sessions for celebrations of all kinds — get in touch to find out more
Once you start working with clay, you can't stop :)
