Pottery Classes
We run regular pottery classes throughout the year here at our South London studio (based in Sanderstead, South Croydon CR2 9DW).
Set in an informal setting, our classes only accept a maximum of two students per class. This ensures you benefit from a one-to-one attention of a private class, or share a fun experience with a friend.
Classes are focused on developing a strong foundation in working with clay – From handbuilding techniques to throwing on the potter’s wheel. Our classes cater to the complete beginners, as well as students with previous pottery experience to a 4-weeks course to hone in on your skills.
All our classes can also be tailored if there’s a particular skill you want to practise or techniques you want to try! The class fee includes all tools, clay, materials and firings (we’ll fire and glaze your work, ready for collection within eight weeks).
