This is a fun activity in Stoke Newington, London
New to ceramics or want to get back into it? Then a Taster Session is for you! Every Monday night from 6.30-9pm you will be guided through the two most common clay construction methods of handbuilding and wheel throwing.
Our experienced artist and studio founder, Barnaby Hosking, brings his contemporary art background to create a relaxed, dynamic learning environment. You'll receive expert guidance throughout, making the sometimes-daunting world of pottery feel accessible and enjoyable. The intimate class size of up to 12 students ensures you'll receive plenty of individual attention as you learn how to shape and manipulate clay.
- Affordable and excellent value.
- Learn handbuilding (pinch, coil, slab building) and wheelthrowing techniques.
- Tools, aprons, and unlimited clay provided.
- Small, intimate groups of up to 12 students means you get lots of one-to-one guidance.
- Air-controlled and central heated studio and studio with lots of natural light so you can keep warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
- Convenient and vibrant East London location just 1 mins walk from Dalston Kingsland and Dalston Junction stations
- Free tea, great playlists and relaxed friendly community vibe
Your creative session unfolds in our bright, temperature-controlled studio, where unlimited clay and all necessary tools are provided. As you work, you'll be surrounded by the warmth of our community, complete with complimentary tea and carefully curated playlists to keep you inspired.
These sessions will help you build confidence in your creative abilities while developing practical pottery skills. By the end of your first workshop, you'll have gained hands-on experience with two fundamental pottery techniques and created your own unique pieces to treasure.
Note on glazing:
We can fire and glaze your work for an extra fee: £5 (mug size), £10 (small vase size) or £15 (fruit bowl size) payable by cash or contactless at the end of your session.
For this price we can either glaze for you in satin white or clear (if pre-coated in coloured slip)
Alternatively we encourage you to book a Glazing Session during which we will teach you how to glaze your work with a glaze of your choice from our extensive range of beautiful brush on glazes (glaze included).
After you have glazed your work you can join in the rest of the session that night for free!
