This is a fun activity in Great Barrow, Chester

Set in a rustic, beautiful country setting just outside Chester, this warm and welcoming workshop focuses on the pure joy of making and the reward of learning from a highly skilled and experienced artisan and teacher. Throughout the session, the delightful Izzy the pug will be there to keep you company too!

Arts and Crafts are part of Chloe’s personal heritage, coming from a family of artisans, including renowned silversmith Dunston Pruden. Her grandfather was a potter and began teaching Chloe when she was just four years old..

My workshops are a special experience, where you are invited to my art studio and pottery, all in a creative hub of artists and musicians in nature.

*A Note from a Recent Student

"Fabulous. Totally fabulous."
Chloe is lovely, encouraging, and patient, and obviously so knowledgeable and talented herself. She made us feel so welcome; I can't speak highly enough of the experience. Loved it

“This pottery class was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! The small group size (just four of us) made it really personal and gave us plenty of time on the wheel. It was so helpful to watch others go first and learn from their techniques before giving it a go yourself. Chloe was an outstanding teacher – friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and super patient with us all. I’d never tried pottery before, but she explained everything clearly and made us feel confident every step of the way. By the end of the session, we each managed to create a bowl, a mug, and a little pot – I was amazed at what we achieved in just one class! If you’re on the fence about trying it, just go for it. It’s such a fun and rewarding experience. Top tip: bring a towel and wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy – the clay really does get everywhere! Can’t wait to come back for another session!”

“Chloe is a great teacher. Very patient, unrushed and attentive as she took an absolute beginner and someone who’d not thrown a pot for 30 years, through the basics. We were both amazed at the pots we achieved. Excellent value for money and a great way to spend an afternoon.”
