A place to explore, create, and connect
A range of sessions in an inviting studio setting where you can explore clay, slow down, connect with others, and develop your own rhythm—whether you’re starting out or continuing your practice.
Ways to join the studio
Pottery wheel
Join a pottery wheel intro class or a comprehensive pottery process course - offered as a one-to-one or one-to-two session. Learn the basics of throwing, get familiar with the studio, and build the foundation to continue working independently.
Workshops
Discover a curated selection of thematic workshops designed to explore specific techniques, materials, or creative approaches. Workshops take place in small groups, creating an inspiring and social environment while still allowing for individual attention.
Open studio session
Work independently at your own pace. The open studio is designed for practising techniques or simply spending time creating, with access to tools and materials in a calm, supportive environment that encourages focus and continuity.
Workshops
Discover new techniques in a workshop designed for creative exploration and shared experience. Each session focuses on a specific approach to working with clay—from handbuilding methods such as coiling, pinching, and slab construction to surface techniques like sgraffito and painting.
Work in a small group setting that is both focused and social, with guidance throughout the process. You are also welcome to explore your own ideas beyond the workshop theme. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, creating space for experimentation, learning, and connection.
After the workshop, your piece will be finished and ready for collection in 2–3 weeks. Preparation, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing are all included, along with beverages.
