Create a beautiful and functional piece of pottery in this fun, beginner-friendly clay workshop. Whether you're dreaming of your perfect morning coffee mug, a stylish milk jug, a vase, or a decorative pitcher, you'll learn the skills needed to bring your idea to life.
Using slab-building techniques, you'll shape and construct your own mug or jug from clay before adding handles, texture, patterns, stamps, and decorative details to make it uniquely yours. From rustic farmhouse styles to modern minimalist designs, the possibilities are endless.
Our experienced instructor will guide you through each stage of the process, showing you how to roll, shape, join, and refine your clay to create a piece that is both practical and beautiful. No previous experience is needed, making this workshop perfect for beginners and crafty creatives alike.
Working with clay is a wonderfully relaxing experience, allowing you to slow down, get hands-on, and enjoy the satisfaction of creating something from scratch. As you shape and personalise your piece, you'll discover why pottery has become such a popular and rewarding hobby.
Once your creation has been professionally fired, you'll have a handmade mug or jug that's completely unique to you. Whether it's used for your morning brew, displayed proudly in your home, or given as a thoughtful gift, you'll leave knowing you've created something special with your own hands.
Please note that other clay workshops may be taking place at the same time as yours. While participants may be creating different items, all projects use the same slab-building techniques, so everyone will be learning and following the same core pottery-making process.
What you'll get
A completed pottery piece is made from clay.
Knowledge required
Beginner friendly
What to bring
Everything you need will be provided at the workshop, but please feel free to bring your own stamps or items you may want to impress into the clay, such as coins, leaves, pasta shapes, etc. Lace works particularly well. Playing with clay can be messy, but it will wash out of clothing. We advise you to wear old clothes or bring an apron. You don't need to bring your booking confirmation, as we will have a record of it.

Crafty Monkey, based in St. Neots, Cambridgeshire, was founded in 2010 after Chrissy Bennett, the owner, attended a pottery painting workshop for her friend's hen party. From a one-man band, it has grown to employ 6 members of staff and is now open 7 days a week with monthly adult evenings, some of which are themed. The studio seats up to 40 people at a push, but you can book in anytime to come in and paint pottery from our extensive range. We have a party area that can comfortably seat 10 (12 people at a push).
We offer a range of things from pottery painting and build-a-bear to baby prints and 3D baby casts. We are able to tailor workshops to specific requests. You can book individual or group bookings with us - anything to suit your crafting needs! Depending on the group size and where it is, we may also be able to come out to you!
