BRING SOME CAKES & WINE, AND LET'S GET CREATIVE!
CLASSES
Come along to one of our fun classes to pick up a plethora of new skills & begin to learn how to let go, experiment, build something slowly, and unearth a journey, whilst having a good time in the company of others! There has never been a better time to place your wellbeing at the forefront & our pottery home is just the place to soothe your mind.
Clay + Yoga classes are now available to book in Twickenham, as well as Clay + Bubbles!
The warm atmosphere of our classes, means it's a space to share, be inspired and really get to grips with the taught methods, as you spend time practicing all the skills you pick up. The most common feedback is how fast time flies and how therapeutic this medium is. Instantly addictive, students may choose to re-enrol on a 10-week course on an indefinite basis, or they might choose to take different classes through the year.
For a lot of us, it's not about mastering perfection, but about having a blast on the way.
Classes are the perfect way to build up to a membership, which is more openly self-led.
And even if you have never touched clay before, come join one of our 'Discovery' days to see if this is your cup of tea, and we'll take it from there!
* Spaces limited, so please email to express interest or to be placed on the waiting-list.
