Small, personal pottery workshops – right here in my studio in Horsmonden!

Looking for a truly hands-on creative experience? I run intimate pottery workshops for just 2–4 people at a time in my private studio – perfect for parent & child sessions or adult workshops.

This isn’t a busy class or production-line studio. It’s relaxed, friendly, and tailored just to you.

2 pottery wheels,
Learn hand-building techniques,
Ceramics degree + 20 years’ experience
CRB checked
Small groups = lots of individual attention

The sessions are 1.5 hours for a minimum of 2 people and maximum of 4 people, £40 per person, or £60 for a 1:1 session. This includes all material and firings of the work(limited to 4 pieces per person), tea and coffee.

During the session you can take turns on my two pottery wheels, learning to throw, and also have a go at using some hand building techniques to develop any creations you may wish to make.

After once the pieces you’ve made have dried I fire them in my kiln. Once this has been done, I will let you know so that you’re able to come and collect the pieces to takeaway way, this is usually an around 4 - 6 weeks later.

My availability for June is as follows, Friday 12th from 6pm
Saturday 13th June at 2pm
Sunday 14th June at 11am or 2pm
Friday 26th June from 6pm
Saturday 27th June 11am or 2pm

Just some of my favourite photos! I’m a potter, local to Horsmonden, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. I grew up in Langton Green, and have been making with clay since I graduated from my ceramics degree over 20 years ago now!

All of my work is created by hand by myself. I hand glaze everything myself as well, and fire it all in my kiln here! The glazes I use I mix myself using my own glaze recipes! Every single piece I make will be unique, nothing here is manufactured! I craft using my own hands with skills I’ve learnt over many years.

I run small classes from my studio, my work is also for sale and I’m always on the look out for new outlets local to me that align with my values!

“A handmade mug reminds us that we’re all a little different—and that the things we hold every day should fit us, not the other way around.”

Fresh from the Kiln!

These stoneware mugs were thrown slowly by hand, each one with its own weight, curve, and quiet character. No two are the same—just like the hands that reach for them each morning.

Some feel right wrapped in both palms, others suit a one-handed coffee moment. There’s a mug for early risers, late workers, tea drinkers, and lingering sippers.

Let me know what you think of these colours?
All available for sale £25 each £5 p+p

Small groups = lots of individual attention

Because groups are so small, everyone gets time, guidance, and space to really enjoy the process – whether it’s your first time touching clay or you’re coming back to it after years.

If you fancy trying something different, creative, and genuinely personal, I’d love to welcome you into my studio.

🌿 Looking for something more personal than a big ceramics studio?

I’m a potter with over 20 years of experience, a first-class degree in ceramics, and a deep love for sharing clay with others.

My small studio just outside Horsmonden offers something different — calm, connection, and creativity in a setting where you’re never just a number.

Whether you're looking to try your hand at pottery for the first time, refine your skills, or simply enjoy a mindful, tactile experience — I offer workshops tailored to you. Adults, children, total beginners or returners — everyone is welcome, and I’m flexible in meeting individual needs.

Here, it’s not just about making — it’s about feeling the clay, slowing down, and having space to grow.
✨ Small groups
✨ 1:1 sessions
✨ Warm, relaxed atmosphere
✨ Learn at your own pace

If that sounds like your kind of creative escape, get in touch — I'd love to hear from you.
