We are a small independent ceramics studio based on Lowestoft’s historic High Street. Check out our website.
Our hand-build pottery classes are kept to small groups of people, this keeps the classes intimate and allows students to be given sufficient help in a friendly atmosphere. We cater for all abilities, those with previous experience can join at any time, beginners will be shown how to make a coil pot, a pinch pot and a small slab-built pot. We then encourage you to choose a project and we will work with you to achieve this.
Courses last for four weeks and cost £60. These ongoing sessions include many returning students after the initial four week commitment.
We run regular hand-build classes during the week:
• Monday 10-12, 2-4 & 7-9
• Tuesday 9-11, 12.30-2.30 & 7-9

Wednesday 10-12: improvers throwing classes
Wednesday 1-3: beginners throwing classes – During these sessions, after a brief demonstration, you will learn the steps of wedging and centering, to throw on the wheel and trimming your pieces. We will then assist you in making a pot/bowl of your choice which will then be fired twice and ready to collect in approximately three weeks. Session price is £40 per person, £30 for members. Booking is essential.
We also offer beginners wheel throwing classes on alternate Saturday afternoons. Please call or email for more information.
