For beginners wanting to try their hand on the wheel we have an afternoon workshop available in December. Book via our website.
🍂
A taster afternoon is a great way to get a feel for working with clay on the wheel, a practice that is known as throwing. In these intimate classes (each participant with their own wheel), one of our seasoned tutors will take you through each of the processes that form the basis of throwing.

In this hands-on class, you will learn how to wedge (prepare the clay), centre (secure the clay on the wheel), and, of course, throw (pulling up the walls of the clay into a cylinder). Whether you book for yourself or with a group of friends, this is a wonderfully social and spirited introduction to the joys of throwing.

Incredible transformation: This was 29 Eccleston Place, SW1 before emerging as a light-filled and spacious workshop for all who are attracted to making with clay, from absolute beginners to more experienced potters. We are uniquely located in central London in the heart of Victoria. A place of calm and community, our carefully curated space provides a perfect environment for city-dwellers to come together to learn and create.
Feeling very grateful 🙏

We are really excited to be hosting @michel_francois_porcelain at the studio this week ✨
Michel uses ancient timeless techniques to create functional vessels. They benefit from a purity of form giving them a sculptural quality.
🍂
His own glazes are crafted using Feldspar, Cornish stone and ash from local trees, such as Chestnut, Ash, and Beech. By starving the kiln of oxygen, he draws minerals and oxides from inside the clay to the surface. There they react with the ash glaze, combining to act as prisms that filter and reflect light. This process ensures that each piece is unique.
🍂
Michel graduated from Falmouth University in 2002, then was an artist in residence at the Leach Pottery, St Ives, Cornwall. Following this, he set up his own studio in Falmouth.
🍂
Michel’s work has been shown extensively in the UK and internationally. His work has been shown in Paris (Gallery Art Présent), London (Gallery 43 Mayfair), Edinburgh and Taipei (International Teabowl Exhibition). He has also co-designed and produced a new range of tableware for the Eden project, facilitated with the aid of a research grant from AIR (Academy of Innovation and Research).
🍂
Most recently Michel been invited to show a new body of work at the Korean National Craft Museum in June 2019. Michel will be exhibiting his moon jars alongside the work of Professor Seo Young Gi. @gregorytingay
