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.
Made to be used, not just kept.
Most London tasters use porous earthenware and charge extra to keep your piece — we don’t.

“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.”

“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
Wear clothes you don't mind getting clay on — aprons provided but clay finds sleeves.
Finished pieces are not included in the class price. Choose to have your piece fired and glazed for £6.
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.
Arrive 5 minutes early so you can settle in.
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.
