Ceramics studio & workshops

Clay, water, fire and your hands.

A small studio where we make everyday pots and teach anyone who wants to get their hands dirty.

Book a wheel taster Or throw one here ↓

We make Bowl dates — Kaolin Ceramics Studio bowls you'll eat from every day, Cup teal — Kaolin Ceramics Studio cups that fit the hand, and Vase dried — Kaolin Ceramics Studio vases for whatever's in the garden. Slowly, one at a time.

Try it

Throw a pot right here.

Drag on the clay to push the walls in or out, or use the sliders. Pick a glaze, then fire it.

Nobody's first pot is round.

That's the fun of it. Tasters on weekends, a six-week course on Tuesdays, hand-building on Thursdays.
