When your pottery has been trimmed, fired and glazed, you will receive an email letting you know you it’s ready to collect from the studio. In the email will be instructions for when to collect from the studio.
Note that this is generally 4-6 weeks after the class however this is dependant on how many kilns are firing as we only run a kiln when it’s full to limit the environmental impact.

Yes, as an alternative to collecting your pottery pieces when they are ready, we can package and arrange shipping.
Depending on the size / weight / number of pieces, this will be roughly £10-20. Email us to arrange.

We can host private groups throwing on the wheel from 2-6 people. Generally these would be a 2hr class but we can tailor to what you’d like.
For a larger group, we can host up to 12 for a mixture of throwing on the wheel and pottery painting.
We can host a max of 16 for handbuilding or pottery painting - this is what we do for hen party events!
Sole use of the studio for your group and we can provide drinks or you can BYOB.
Get in touch via email to discuss your event.

Developer - This is aimed at people who have done some pottery before and can centre and pull up walls.. We’d recommend a minimum of one beginner course, or a few private sessions, but ideally those who have completed a couple of courses. It’s small class sizes so lots of tailored tuition from the teacher. Less structured sessions with guidance from a teacher.
Full Day Throwing - All levels welcome. The day starts with a short demo which serves as either instruction or a refresher of core technique. Afterwards, each student works to their own level and the teacher gives bespoke tuition based on this level to each student.

If you miss one of the sessions (eg, travel or illness) and there is a space in another course session, you’re welcome to join. However this is on a case by base basis and only if the other course is not fully booked as we only have the 6 wheels. Ask your teacher or email us to enquire about this and we will do our best to help.
You are always welcome to book in for a private session as well.
-
You can cancel or reschedule a private class, course or workshop up to 2 weeks before. Being a small studio we unfortunately cannot accommodate anything within the 2 week period.
If you cannot attend, you’re welcome to give your spot to a friend instead!

Many pregnant people enjoy pottery safely, and working with wet clay is non-toxic.
To be extra cautious, we recommend avoiding the glazing process during pregnancy, as some glaze materials can produce fine particles or fumes that are best avoided.
If you’re joining a 5 or 6 week course, we suggest skipping the final glazing session — our team will be happy to glaze your pieces for you.The throwing and hand-building stages are generally considered safe, but participation is entirely at your own discretion and under your doctor’s guidance. Please let us know when booking if you’re pregnant, so we can make sure you’re comfortable and well supported in the studio.
