01

Settle into the studio

We begin with the piece you’re making, the clay body, and the quiet techniques that will guide the session.

02

Build your form

You’ll shape, refine, and surface your piece with guidance that keeps the process calm and approachable.

03

Leave it with us

We glaze and fire your work, then let you know when it’s ready to collect from the studio.

“Attentive, patient and really clear in his instructions. As a beginner we really appreciated it.”

Made to be used, not just kept.

Most London tasters use porous earthenware and charge extra to keep your piece — we don’t.

Stoneware, not earthenware

The durable clay used in high-end restaurants.

Fired over 1220°C

Dishwasher, microwave and food safe.

“Raymond was great. He took us through the process in manageable steps. I’ve never done pottery on a wheel before and I’m amazed how it wasn’t as difficult as I thought.”

Heather L. · Aug 2026

“My birthday treat with my sister — we had a wonderful time. Raymond explained the whole process and was so patient. The studio is bright and relaxing. We’re already booking the six-week course.”

Good to know

  • This is a hand-building class — no wheel required. You'll work at a table.

  • Wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting clay on.

  • Pieces take approximately 8 weeks for firing. We'll notify you when ready.

  • Collect within 1 month of notification — uncollected pieces will be discarded.

  • Glaze results vary naturally due to chemical reactions during firing.

  • Cracks or breakage may occur during firing; refunds cannot be provided for firing issues.



Important notes

Glaze results vary naturally due to chemical reactions during firing. Pieces may occasionally crack during firing due to air bubbles or uneven surfaces; these outcomes are not refundable. Collect your piece within one month of notification.
