Our classes

Pick the wheel or hand building, then the class for where you are.

Two ways to work

Wheel throwing

Your hands shape the clay as it spins, into round pots: cups, bowls and vases.

Hand building

You pinch, coil and roll slabs at a table, so you can make any shape: plates, planters, boxes and sculpture.
