Pottery Workshops in Poole, Dorset
Slow down for a couple of hours and get your hands in clay. My garden studio in Poole is where I teach beginners the basics: pinch pots, coiling, slab building, wheel throwing and glazing. No experience needed, just time to focus on one thing.

Pottery Class Information
-
Your piece needs 3 to 4 weeks to dry and fire before it's ready to collect. Can't make it back in person? We can post it to you (postage charged separately), though we can't take responsibility for breakages in transit.
-
We'll hold finished pieces for 2 months after we let you know they're ready. After that, studio space just won't stretch any further, sorry!
-
Come with short nails and hair tied back if you can. It makes handbuilding easier. Wear something you don't mind getting a bit messy. Aprons are provided, but bring your own if you'd rather
-
For our workshops cancellation policy please see the bottom of the page.
-
Sometimes pieces don't survive the kiln. Such is the life of a potter! I can't take responsibility for cracks or losses during firing, but I'll always let you know if it happens to yours.
-
Workshops will have a maximum group number of 5 persons
-
The minimum age for joining a workshop is 16 (12 when booked with a parent)
-
Refreshments are included. Just flag any dietary requirements or allergies when you book.
