This is a fun activity in Bristol

In this relaxed and creative pottery class in Bristol, you'll hand build your very own ceramic tea light essential oil or wax melt burner – the perfect way to add a touch of fragrance and style to your home! This class is designed for beginners, teaching you the basics of hand building pottery while crafting something that’s both pretty and functional.

You'll start by learning essential pottery techniques like slab rolling, carving, embossing, and joining. While templates are provided to guide you, there’s plenty of room for creativity, so if you have a specific design in mind, feel free to bring it to life! You’ll be guided through each step, from rolling and cutting out your forms to constructing your oil burner, and once your piece is built, you’ll have the chance to decorate it using a variety of coloured slips, making it uniquely yours.

Expect a hands-on introduction to hand building, with all tools and materials provided. Your oil burner will be fired and glazed for you, with pieces typically ready for collection within 4-6 weeks. Plus, all creations are dishwasher safe, making them both beautiful and practical!

This workshop is all about making pottery accessible and fun for everyone. Whether you're booking individually or celebrating a special occasion like a birthday, work event, or hen do, it’s a great way to get creative. (Your pieces will be held at the studio for up to 6 weeks after you receive the collection email).

I really enjoyed this class. Jess was great and gave us tips and encouragement when we needed it. Was so fun to be making something that is useful as well and decorative. I can’t wait to see how mine has turned out after firing! Thanks for a fun evening!

Making an oil burner was such good fun! Everything was really well explained and easy enough to use/do. Thanks so much to Jess, she was a lovely teacher, will definitely have this as a first choice if booking anything again!
