Autumn season · October 2026

Spend an afternoon
making something
with your hands.

Forma is a small workshop studio. Six sessions this season, each one taught in person by a maker who does this for a living — wheel-thrown cups, loose seasonal bouquets, slow dough, wet paint. No experience assumed, ever.

    How a session runs

    1. Arrive and settle

      Aprons, a drink, and fifteen minutes of no pressure while everyone finds a bench.

    2. Work with your hands

      Your instructor demonstrates, then moves between benches for the rest of the session.

    3. Take it home

      Everything you make is yours. Fired ceramics are ready for collection two weeks later.

    Jewellery and small metal findings spread across a pale painted surface.
    Stacks of hand-glazed plates and bowls resting on a slatted wooden shelf.
