Hi! I’m Kayley 👋 In May I’ll have been running Islington Pottery Workshops for 12 years - time flies! Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes at the kind of jobs that happen when I’m not running a workshop.

This is Stephen. He always brings such positive energy to the studio and it is a joy to see his work going from strength to strength.

Whether a door-stop planter, coffee pot or mugs for his family, there’s always another project just around the corner!

Last week, Stephen told me that he is finally feeling like he is getting the hang of things… like he can have an idea and see it through to the end with the confidence that it will work out. The glazing on the yellow mug turned out exactly as planned 💛

We have all been there - that lovely moment when we realise that our ideas can become a reality - and what a privilege it is to help people realise their pottery dreams!

Big bowls next, eh Stephen?! See you at the wedging bench!

It is so lovely to hear things like this. What an absolute pleasure to host Selin and Berkin at the studio. In a short time they’ve both made great progress. I just love spreading the clay love! 💕
