New to ceramics and want to know where to start?
Our evening Taster sessions are a great place to start. You will learn the basic foundations of wheel throwing and hand building; both utilitarian and sculptural. If you are looking for a broader foundation then the Five Week Course will take you from raw clay to finished glazed pieces and will also include a meditation to begin each session. If you are just after the wheel our intimate Wheel Throwing sessions of up to six people are both a perfect introduction and can be used as an opportunity to advance your skills. You can also book a Private Tuition session with one of our teachers.
Group Bookings
Looking for inspiring ideas for a group session for friends or team building/away day for your company or charity?
Our studio has been custom built by artist and founder, Barnaby Hosking to include a fully equipped ceramics and art studio, and a relaxing space for yoga, meditation, meetings, presentations and private events: a combination that allows for social connection and an uninterrupted flow between mindfulness in meditation and yoga, absorption in the creative process and deep relaxation; without the need to travel between venues.
