OPEN ACCESS POTTERY & TEACHING SCHOOL

Come and join us! Don't delay, our classes and courses starting in January are selling fast!

Our classes and courses starting in January 2025 are up and ready to book. Don’t delay, they’re selling fast. Whether you want to buy a one-off treat as a Christmas present or think that now is the time to start a new hobby, there is something for everyone!

At ClayKilnCraft we take great pride in being a completely independent pottery studio. We have the facilities of a large studio with the heart of a smaller one. We aim to nurture & inspire all our students & members to help them achieve their goals.

Our classes are small with plenty of teachers so loads of one-to-one time. We offer one-off classes, potter’s wheel throwing courses as well as combined general hand building & wheel courses.

We also run an open access membership scheme for hobbyists, amateurs, semi-professionals & the enthusiastic in a supportive, informative and fun environment.
