10 Handbuilding Projects for Absolute Beginners
Ready to experience the versatility of clay?
Come learn the foundational techniques that humans have been using for 30,000 years to make incredible works of functional and sculptural art at our relaxed and friendly east london studio. Our flexible sessions allow you to work on a personal project under the supervision of an experienced ceramicist, or try your hand at pinching, coil-building, and slab-building anything from mugs, vases, and candleholders to beads, jewellery and much more.
After a couple of sessions you should be ceramically fit enough to book our cheaper
Drop-In sessions, becoming part of our thriving Drop-In Community, allowing access to the studio every day
from 9am to 9pm. Drop-in members can also attend wheel-throwing sessions (space permitting).
​
Pieces can be fired and glazed for an extra fee and will be ready for pickup in 1 month
