Private handbuilding lesson
£85 for one person
£140 for two people
2 hours​
Whether you're brand new to pottery or a hobbyist looking to refine your skills, this two-hour private lesson is designed around you.
Handbuilding sessions are a great way to create a project in a single session—whether that's making and decorating a bespoke mug, jug or bowl, or making a set of small items. If you're a beginner, we'll explore hand-building techniques like pinching, coiling, and slab-building to create and decorate a unique piece of pottery. If you're more experienced, I'll help you work toward your specific goals. Either way, you'll have plenty of guidance in a relaxed and supportive environment.
​
Your work will be ready for collection or delivery within 3–6 weeks. Additional items can also be fired for a small supplementary fee.​

​
Please note, spots for lessons are limited as I need to balance teaching with my own studio work. If no availability is listed, it means all spots are full. I understand it can be disappointing if the session you want isn’t available, but I update my schedule on a rolling basis, allowing bookings up to five weeks in advance. You can register your interest here to receive notifications when new dates are released.
