- Group size
- Between 6 and 14 people, led by one working maker. Small enough to ask questions; lively enough to meet someone new.
- Experience

¶ Questions
Before you book a seat
Do I need any experience?
No — every October workshop is designed for complete beginners. Your maker demonstrates each stage, and there is plenty of time to practise, ask, and redo.
What should I bring?
Just yourself and clothes you don’t mind marking. Aprons, tools, materials, coffee and tea are all provided, and most pieces go home with you the same day.
When can I collect ceramics?
Clay pieces are glazed and fired after your session. They’re usually ready to collect from the studio in about two weeks — we’ll have them wrapped and waiting.
Can I come on my own?
Very much so. Most people do. Tables seat six to fourteen, sessions are sociable without being forced, and the maker keeps the room moving.
