Our mission is to create beautiful ceramics artwork and to cultivate a great sense of well-being and personal growth. And of course, one of the best rewards of practising with clay is that it’s just plain fun.

Throwing (working on the pottery wheel) is not only a practical skill requiring full concentration but also a meditative process which activates the feel-good system in your brain. This is a skill anyone can learn through practice and good tuition.
This course is suitable for you if you are new to making pottery. You will complete a series of short projects in which you will learn to plan, make and decorate several types of hand built decorative and useful pots. We cover the techniques of pinching, coiling, slab-work and construction.
Our ongoing pottery classes in London for this five session course continues your previous introduction to throwing clay. It equips you with a sturdy foundation from which to develop as a potter. You are advised to stick with the same tutor throughout.
Explore the therapeutic world of pottery in our Intermediate Pottery for Well-Being course. This course provides a relaxed and friendly environment to build upon your previous experience of working with clay.
If you are new to pottery then over the first weeks of the workshop you will be shown the basics for working with clay from making thumb-pots and coil building to tile making and throwing on the wheel; this will also include simple decorating and glazing techniques.
