FAQs

How much is a workshop?

Prices vary but they tend to workout at about £40/£45 per class

Who can join?
How long are workshops?
Do you have a pot policy?

Our pot policy is 8 pots per term or 6 pots and one larger pot.

Unfortunately our space is small so we are unable to accomodate students making an inordinate amount of pots so we encourage quality over quantity and encourage editing pieces from the start.

We offer various classes for all levels.

We also cater for children aged 10 and above or aged 6 and above if a parent stays with them.

Workshops vary in length from 90 minutes for a wheel throwing taster session, 2.5 hours for a handbuilding taster session or up to 8 weeks for our pottery and wheel throwing workshops.
