🌿 Studio & Class Update

After three months of intense market preparation, plus juggling work and studio organisation, I need to step back and reset properly.

Because of this — and with the extreme daytime heat — there will be no daytime classes for now.

✨ Class schedule update:

No daytime classes

One evening class only: Monday nights (for the clay addicts who simply can’t stay away 😉)

This schedule will run until 14 January 2026

I’m using this time to reorganise the studio, plan ahead, and prepare properly for 2026.

I’ll announce if this period needs to be extended.
Thank you so much for your understanding, patience, and continued support 🤍

🎥 Beginner Pottery Tips: Wedging & Centering with Body Weight! 🏺

Hi everyone! 👋 Today, I'm sharing a quick guide for beginners:

1️⃣ Wedging Clay
Use your body weight to wedge the clay. This helps:

Achieve an even texture

Remove air bubbles

Protect your wrists and arms from strain

2️⃣ Centering on the Wheel
Apply your body weight to center the clay. This technique:

Makes shaping smoother

Helps protect your wrists and arms from strain

3️⃣ Drying to Leatherhard
After shaping, allow your piece to dry until it's leatherhard—firm but still slightly soft. This stage is perfect for:

Trimming

Adding handles or decoration

Preparing it for the bisque firing

💡 Tip: Pottery is all about rhythm and patience—enjoy each step!
