Pottery Lessons

Our pottery lessons are flexible, tutor-led studio sessions for beginners and improvers who want to develop practical skills in a supportive environment. Whether you’d like to try pottery for the first time, build confidence on the wheel, improve your handbuilding, or work on your own ideas with guidance, these sessions are designed to meet you where you are.

Lessons are available to book online through our ceramics schedule.

What to Expect

These are relaxed, practical sessions where you can work at your own pace with tutor support throughout. You might choose to focus on wheel throwing, handbuilding, or a combination of both, depending on your interests and experience.

If you’re new to pottery, we’ll help you get started with the basics, including preparing clay, making simple forms, and understanding studio processes. If you already have some experience, lessons are a chance to build confidence, refine technique, and develop your own projects with support on hand when needed.

House stoneware clay, decorating slips, and studio glazes are included in the session price. Firing is charged separately at £4 per litre, which covers both bisque and glaze firings and is measured by the space your work occupies in the kiln.

Please allow time at the end of your session to tidy your workspace and equipment, leaving the studio ready for the next person. Book now →
