Everyone deserves a break from a busy life and some relaxing time for themselves.
Our pottery classes are a fun way to unwind, allowing your mind to de-stress while you create a functional object.
The making
Starting with a lump of clay, your hands shape it into a unique creation, guided by your personal process and entering a state of flow.
The result
The result? A beautiful mug, bowl, plate, or vase crafted entirely by you, bringing pride as you use it in your home, knowing it’s 100% slow-made.
Pottery is classified as a "Flow experience", a new holistic approach to stress.

How do I reserve a course?
Go to the page of the activity you wish to book and click on “Book Now.”
Can I bring my own clay/glaze to the studio?
No, it is not possible to bring your own materials (clay, glaze, or anything that will be fired) to the studio. All materials are provided directly at the studio.
What should I wear to the pottery course?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty, especially if you’re working at the pottery wheel, as working with clay can be messy! Each person will be provided with one apron at the studio. For pottery painting sessions or pottery painting workshops, no apron is provided since it’s not an activity where you typically get dirty.
