Europe's longest-running pottery workshop summer school
We invite you to spend a week immersed in the way of a potter, breathing life into clay, learning ancient skills, practicing new techniques and experiencing the joy of creation.

Summer School
Each course allows for a maximum of eight students giving ample time for individual tuition and is designed both for those who have never made a pot before or who are experienced clay workers. Every student has exclusive use of their own pottery wheel in our purpose built studio. Each week is a complete cycle from clay mixing to a wood firing or, sometimes, two.
