Make your own beautiful ceramic art at our Brighton studio
Hand-building workshops
We run regular group hand-building workshops which you can book online. These are great taster sessions if you want to give pottery a go before committing to a course, but are also perfect for a fun and creative weekend activity in Brighton!
At the taster workshop you can choose to make a mug, vase, salt-pig, oil-burner, bowl or candle holder. You may even have time to try some fun decoration techniques too!
Upcoming taster workshops:
Saturday 18th January, 2 - 5pm
Saturday 22nd February, 10am - 1pm
Saturday 5th April, 2 - 5pm
£75 per person
We also offer sessions for just two people or private groups, on a date to suit you.
And don't forget our legendary body-bits workshops if you would like to immortalise a body part (naughty or nice) on a mug or jug.
What is hand-building?
In a hand-building workshop you aren't limited to making circular objects (like you are on the wheel) and can get very creative (if you like!) You're also much more likely to make something useable if you hand-build it, as throwing on the wheel takes a lot of practice to get good!
In a half-day session you could make something like a mug, vase, plant pot, butter dish, candle-holder, oil burner, number for your house etc... (there are lots of possibilities!)
In a full-day session you could make a couple of objects, or could take time to explore some interesting decoration techniques. We'll also give you lunch!
Have a look at our gallery of student work to get an idea of what you might be able to make in a workshop with us.
"Such a relaxing and lovely time at our workshop. Location, ambience, and guidance during the pottery making were all top notch."
