Create your own beautiful honey pot in this sweet two-hour hand-building pottery class in Kempston! You'll learn the traditional coiling technique to build a functional and decorative piece that’s a perfect addition to any kitchen.
During this session, you'll design and build a honey pot approximately 15cm tall. Your teacher will guide you through the process of stacking and smoothing coils of clay to create a sturdy, rounded shape. You'll also craft a matching lid, making your pot ideal for storing honey or sugar, or simply using it as a unique decorative item.
There’s no need to have any previous experience with clay – this workshop is designed for beginners. Your teacher will provide all the materials and expert guidance you need to feel comfortable and confident as you get hands-on with the coiling method. It’s a low-pressure environment where you can switch off and enjoy the tactile nature of pottery.
  • Two hours of expert instruction – Get step-by-step guidance from a seasoned maker.
  • All materials and clay – Everything is provided, so you can just show up and start creating.
  • Learn traditional coiling technique – Master the art of building shapes with clay coils.
  • Create a functional honey pot with lid – Walk away with a handmade keepsake for your home.
  • Professional firing included – We’ll take care of the technical side to ensure your piece is durable.
When it comes to finishing your work, you have two lovely options. We can glaze the pot for you in one of our signature colours, or you can choose to return to the studio later to paint it yourself for a small fee. This is a great chance to add personal touches like tiny bees or colourful flowers to your design.
You'll leave the studio feeling inspired and proud of your new skills, taking home a custom creation that adds a splash of handmade charm to your daily routine.
