  3. A relaxed, art and design focused studio where you can bring your own ideas and projects to life

  4. 3-hour sessions

  5. Materials are included:
        - 2kgs of studio clays: white raku, white stoneware or coloured stoneware clays  
        - stoneware glazes and underglazes

  6. Tools supplied

  7. On site bisque and glaze firing services available

  8. Work in progress storage (within reason — probably not full scale horses etc)

  • Carol is the dream teacher: she imparts her extensive knowledge of the skills and techniques required by gently guiding her students to relax and create our own special piece. Her studio is lovely and our time together flew by. Very enjoyable and I will gladly rebook to learn as much as I can from Carol.

  • Carol is an amazing teacher and guide and patiently took me through the three hour class. It was great talking to her and I really enjoyed working on my ceramics!
