Who it’s for

Want to try pottery for the first time
Are looking for a creative gift
Want a calm, focused experience
If you’ve done pottery before and want a refresher, this can work well too!
Want to book?
I’ll reply with available dates (my hands are normally covered in clay, but I’ll aim to get back to you within 24 hours).
Want more time on the wheel?
If you want more time to practise on the wheel, I also offer a private 3-session throwing set (3 × 2-hour workshops).
It’s a more relaxed way to build skills gradually and gain confidence on the wheel.
