Looking to dive a little deeper into clay? Our weekly pottery courses are designed to help you build confidence, develop technique, and create a beautiful collection of handmade ceramics to take home.
Each course runs at the same time each week for a set number of weeks, allowing you to progress step-by-step in a relaxed, supportive environment. With expert tuition, small class sizes, and all materials and equipment included, you’ll learn at your own pace while enjoying the creative process.
We currently offer two course levels:
Level 1 – Beginners:
Perfect for complete beginners, these courses cover all the fundamentals of working with clay. The skills taught differ depending on the course you choose.Level 2 – Intermediate:
Designed for those who have completed our Level 1 courses (or have equivalent experience). If you’re unsure if your previous experience is accepted, feel free to give us an email at info@clayworkshop.co.uk
We currently offer Level 2 for throwing only, but plan to expand our intermediate options later in 2026.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to take your skills further, our weekly courses are the perfect way to grow your pottery practice in a calm, creative setting.
Please Note: Due to the nature of the course and set-up, it is difficult to reschedule certain sessions. Please be aware we are a small business and pottery is a time sensitive process so in some cases rescheduling is not possible. However, if we are able to accommodate we will try our best to arrange another session.
If you have any accessibility needs, please let us know in advance of your visit so we can make the studio as comfortable as possible for you. For example, if you require space for a wheelchair or are bringing a pram, giving us notice allows us to prepare the space accordingly.
