In this Stingray Pottery Workshop, you will immerse yourself in the wonderful world of pottery. Discover working with clay as you learn how to create your very own stingray to take home. Don’t worry if you are a beginner, as this class is designed for all skill levels. We will guide you through the process and help you nurture your creativity in an encouraging environment.
During the workshop, our instructor will teach you how to shape your stingray using hand-building techniques, from the smooth, flowing wings to the tail and the detailed eyes that bring it to life. Get ready to get your hands dirty and enjoy the therapeutic nature of working with clay.
What makes this class extra special: you have 2.5 hours with us! You’ll spend 1.5 hours hand-building your stingray, then 1 hour glazing it during the session. Choose from our range of glazes and layer your colours to give your stingray its own look, from rich ocean blues and greens to earthy browns. Your creation will be uniquely yours!
By the end of the class, you will have crafted and glazed your very own stingray that reflects your personal creativity. Your piece will then be fired for you, and your finished item will be ready approximately 4 weeks later.

Welcome to Fire Nest - a creative studio in the heart of Kempston West End, Bedford, founded by Will and Phoebe.
What started as a small candle-making studio has grown into a buzzing creative studio offering pottery painting, pottery making, candle making, perfume blending, glass fusing, clay clubs and seasonal workshops - all beginner-friendly, no experience needed.
Whether you're after a relaxed date night, a birthday celebration, a hen party, a catch-up with friends, or simply a new hobby to unwind with after work, there's something here for you.
We've welcomed customers every week for over seven years, and it's the little moments - the laughter, the mess, the finished pieces people are genuinely proud of - that keep people coming back and recommending us to friends and family.
Come and see what you can create!
