Pottery Handbuilding Workshop – Pinchpots & Mini Plates (September, October 2025)

Calling all creatives!

Have you been dreaming about creating your own ceramics? Here’s your chance to learn with artists Clarissa Regan and Rosalie Whitington. Surrounded by nature and an artist-inspired courtyard, you’ll spend a soulful Saturday morning immersed in clay, creativity, and connection.

In this 2.5 hour workshop, you’ll be guided through two hands-on ceramic projects.

Cute mini plates: experiment with Japanese style wooden moulds to create your own trays – perfect for jewellery on a dresser or a food safe condiment. Try our Indian wooden stamp blocks to create a textured, patterned artwork with a timeless touch. These earthenware creations will be glazed with gorgeous opalescent glazes.

Colourful pinch pot tea-lights: unleash your imagination as you shape your own piece in clay, then bring it to life painting it with coloured underglazes, carving and stencilling. These unique artworks will be glazed with beautiful mid-fire clear glazes in our gas kiln.

Whether you’re a curious beginner or a lover of handmade objects, this clay class offers the joy of making something truly your own.

Get ready to create, laugh, and make something awesome. We can’t wait to see you there!
