    Fab family Saturday night out! A group of us aged 17 to 56 spent the evening hand-building and trying out the wheel

  • A latte with latte art in a beige ceramic cup, placed on a wooden table next to a potted plant with large green and pink-veined leaves and three smooth stones.

    Absolutely brilliant introductory course to ceramics. Highly recommend if you even have a slightest interest in pottery. Lovely team, great atmosphere and on top of it all, best coffee I've tasted.

  • People shaping clay into bowls at a pottery workshop.

    We had a great afternoon, the team were very welcoming and gave clear instructions, so suitable for beginners! Great fun! We made two items each and then chose a glaze. They are ready for collection within about a month, but ours were ready in just over a week.

  • A person wearing yellow gloves holding a small clay vase in a pottery workshop.

    To start the studio is such an incredible space, that makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in. We were able to have a go at throwing, and hand building. We learned all about glaze, the different types and ways to add colour to your pots I learned so much in both lessons and I am eager to see how my pots come out.

  • People working on ceramic pottery at a wooden table filled with pottery tools, candles, and ceramic pieces in progress.

    Highly recommend! Me and my sisters and friend attended for a pottery throwing session and really enjoyed! Such a fun, relaxed atmosphere where Lydia let us get hands on with great tips and demonstrations.

  • A person ladling clay on a pottery wheel to make a ceramic cup.

    I had such a great time doing a short pottery course at STUDIO by Rock Garden where I learned multiple hand building techniques and the wheel. Lydia is so passionate about her work and a kind and generous teacher. Highly recommend!!
