Can I use the pottery wheels in this class?

This is a predominantly HAND-BUILDING session. This means coiling, pinching, slab building & use of our moulds . We have created a ticket option to rent one of our 4 electric wheels but this is ONLY FOR THOSE WITH PRIOR EXPERIENCE and are happy to work independently (Such as students who have completed our Beginner Wheel Throwing Course). Our teacher on duty for the Drop-in Session will not be trained in wheel throwing and will only assist you with finding the materials you need and general running of the session.

What Should I Wear?

While the majority of clay can easily be washed out of your clothing, working with terracotta and deeper colours can leave stains. Please come dressed in clothing you do not mind getting dirty and can easily be put through the washing machine. We will provide each maker with an apron for their use during the session.

What Should I bring?

Each class will be fully stocked with all the materials and tools needed. All clay, glazes and firings are included within the cost of the course.

Will there be food provided?

We will provide a range of teas and coffees and some biscuits. If you would like some a more substantial meal we are conveniently located near Mercato Metropolitano and Borough Market where you can find a range of local restaurants and delis.

What are the COVID precautions?

We will always be in keeping with the government guidelines for Schools and Education. Our teachers are tested regularly. If you are feeling unwell please do not come in to the session.

Do you have disability access?

Our studio is fully wheelchair accessible. If you have any special needs or requirements please let us know in advance and we will try and accommodate you as best as possible.
