Looking for a creative way to spend a Saturday afternoon in Brighton? Join a beginner-friendly ceramic workshop and make your own beautiful, functional bowl; something you’ll use and enjoy long after the session.

In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn press moulding, a simple and satisfying technique where clay is rolled into a slab and shaped using plaster moulds. It’s the perfect introduction to ceramics, ideal for anyone wanting to create handmade pottery without prior experience.

Once your bowl is formed, you’ll add a unique finish by marbling it with coloured slips—liquid clay in a curated palette of contemporary shades—giving your piece a distinctive, artistic touch.

With small group sizes limited to just five participants, this relaxed and supportive session offers plenty of guidance, making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking for a calming, creative afternoon.

What you’ll make

1 bowl W 20 cm H 4 cm


After the workshop, your piece will be left to dry, bisque fired, and then hand-glazed by me before the final firing. Your finished bowl will be ready for collection within 3-4 weeks from my studio. I can post them to you for additional P&P fee £12.

DISCLAIMER:

Clay can be a little unpredictable, and very occasionally a piece may crack during drying or firing. While every care is taken to prevent this, it's just part of the pottery process.

Although on a ground floor, the studio unfortunately is not wheelchair-accessible because of the layout and bathroom access.

WHY TO LEARN WITH ME

I'm excited to share my passion and expertise with you. I hold a Master of Design (MDes) specialising in Ceramics and Visual Research, and I've been immersed in the world of ceramics since 2005, honing my skills intensively as a professional designer and maker since 2012. I have designed ceramics for various retail outlets, showcased my work in galleries, and collaborated directly with interior designers. This diverse experience allows me to bring a unique perspective to my workshops, blending artistic expression with practical design applications.

With three years of experience as a ceramics demonstrator at the University of Brighton, coupled with leading numerous workshops across Sussex and in my own studio, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical insights to my teaching. My approach is in-depth yet always informal, fostering a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.

I firmly believe in the power of hands-on practice. In my workshops, you'll learn by doing, exploring techniques and discovering your creative potential through direct experience. Join me and together we'll transform your ideas into beautiful, tangible creations.
