Pottery is a wonderfully rewarding craft, but it can also be unpredictable. By choosing to work with clay, you’re stepping into a creative process full of variables, many of which are beyond my control.
I want to be upfront: I cannot guarantee that your piece will return to you exactly as you left it. I handle every piece with care and treat your work as if it were my own. However, in ceramics, things do go wrong; pieces can crack, glazes may run, items can warp or even explode in the kiln. Sometimes your creation won’t turn out the way you imagined, and that’s part of the process too.
By choosing to book this workshop, you acknowledge and accept these risks as part of the learning experience. I do not offer refunds, credits, or replacements for any pieces that are damaged, or don’t make it through the drying and firing process.If any issues arise, I’ll keep you informed by email and share photos where possible.
What I can promise is a welcoming and encouraging environment where you can explore, create, and have fun. This is your opportunity to connect with clay, embrace the unexpected, and enjoy the unique experience of making something by hand.
Group Booking Responsibility
Please note that the person making the booking is responsible for informing all participants about the terms and conditions, as well as the inherent variability that comes with pottery making.

Photos & Media:

Collecting Your Work:
Finished pieces will be available for pickup after the drying and firing process, which takes approximately 6–8 weeks. We’ll notify you when your work is ready for collection. Additional cost for individual shipping can be arranged.
Pottery can be a little messy, so it’s best to come dressed in something comfortable that you don’t mind getting paint on. Here are a few tips:
Clothing: Wear old clothes or casual, comfortable outfits. Clay usually washes out, but it’s best to avoid delicate fabrics or anything you’d be upset to stain
Apron: If you have an apron, bring it along, it will help protect your clothes if you're wearing something fancy
Comfort: Dress in layers so you’re comfortable throughout the session especially in winter.
The main thing is to wear something you can relax in and not worry about getting dirty. Paint your own workshop is about enjoying the creative process, so the more comfortable you are, the better your experience will be.
