Pottery Embassy

Pottery Classes in Blenheim

Pottery studio & creative art space in Blenheim, Marlborough

From your first off-centre cylinder to developing your skills and experimenting with glazes and firing, our studio is a place where you can learn, practise and grow.

We offer structured pottery courses, one-off workshops and Open Studio membership, with options for beginners through to more experienced makers.

Drop-ins are always welcome! Come say hello, have a look around and see if this is the space for you to switch off, slow down and step away from the noise of everyday life.

Pottery Embassy is a relaxed, welcoming and creative space for everyone. Come along, spend some time creating — and feel free to bring a friend!

Our Ethos

Studio Built for Growth

Designed to inspire focus and creativity, our architecturally warm studio offers an environment where ceramicists can immerse themselves in the making process. Built for focused, hands-on learning, we emphasize thoughtful progression through multi-week courses and a supportive studio community. Every stage of the journey is guided with care and intention, giving every ceramicist the opportunity to build confidence, refine their skills, and find their own creative rhythm.

The wheel demands patience, and our studio provides the environment to cultivate it. Learn, practice, and fire your creations with confidence.

Our Process

Pause. Create. Connect

There’s something special about working with clay. The wheel invites you to slow down, be patient and enjoy the process — because some things simply can’t be rushed.

At Pottery Embassy, our studio is a place to step away from the everyday, get your hands muddy and enjoy the simple satisfaction of making something from the ground up. Slip on an apron, centre your clay and give yourself a few hours to create, learn and unwind.

Made in Marlborough

Pottery Embassy is proudly local to Blenheim, in the heart of Marlborough. We’re grateful for every person who walks through our doors, gives pottery a go and supports our small creative business.

More than just a pottery studio, we want Pottery Embassy to be a welcoming space where people can create, learn, connect and feel inspired — whether it’s your first time working with clay or pottery is already part of your life.
