Classes

Classes are held on a pay as you go basis, session by session. Please see below for times and prices. This includes all clay or glaze used in the session and the appropriate firing.

We have 4 electric wheels, a small slab roller and two kilns so work gets through fairly quickly. Students are encouraged to do their own projects with tuition in handbuilding or throwing as required. The studio is the converted double garage of our home with wood burning stove, tea and coffee facilities, and toilet. We start a morning session at 10am and an afternoon at 2pm. We also do evenings starting at 7pm.

Beginners, and children with a parent or guardian, are welcome, we have a maximum of 6 people per class which means individual attention.

"Hi Arlene,
Just wanted to say what a great time I had last week. The girls booked a three hour class for my birthday. We all had such fun and I can't wait to see our finished products! I would love to book another day for my sister's birthday, just the two of us. Thankyoooooou soo much. Emma.x"

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to Arlene for the pottery workshop that I attended with three friends in January 2016. It was absolutely brilliant and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone thinking of giving it a go. Arlene makes you feel completely at ease and relaxed and with both hand building and pot throwing, she gave the perfect amount of help and instruction while still allowing you to explore your own ideas and get creative. Very therapeutic and relaxing and we all left with a real sense of wellbeing."

"Hi Arlene, thank you for a lovely day. I learnt more in a few hours than two terms of night school. Marion."

"What an incredible woman and artist! I booked an afternoon slot with Arlene for my mum, my 16 year old and myself to learn some pottery. Arlene gave us the most wonderful experience. Personalised tuition in making pinch pots and using the potters wheel. She is wonderfully direct and funny; this made us feel relaxed, able to learn a lot - felt like she had known us for years. Whether you are looking for a one off treat or a regular hobby, Arlene creates the most joyous experience in her pottery class. Thank you x "
