What you'll create
See all workshops Three pieces, one day
Every workshop ends with real, usable pottery — glazed in colours you choose and fired in our kiln.
The process
From raw clay to finished form
Six steps, one patient day. Scroll to follow a lump of stoneware into the kiln.
02
Centre
Brace your elbows and let the wheel do the work until the clay runs true.
03
Throw
Open, pull and shape — three slow pulls lift the walls into a cylinder.
04
Trim
At leather-hard, carve a foot ring and refine the profile.
05
Glaze
Choose from twelve studio glazes and dip, pour or layer them.
06
Fire
Two firings to 1240°C turn soft clay into stone. We email you when it's ready.
10:00 – 18:00
