(18+) Clay Club: Handbuilding Drop-In

Clay Club is a flexible handbuilding session for anyone who wants to make pottery in a relaxed, beginner-friendly studio environment. Each session is lightly guided, with the option to follow a suggested project or work on your own idea with instructor support.

Please note: Clay Club focuses on handbuilding only. Wheel throwing is not included.

The last 15 minutes of each session is dedicated to cleanup.

Schedule

Clay Club follows a rotating monthly technique schedule. Each month, the first week focuses on pinch pots, the second week on slab building, the third week on coil building, and the fourth week on glazing.

These techniques are offered as guided instruction for anyone who is newer to pottery or wants a bit more structure. You’re still welcome to come in and work on your own project or use a different handbuilding technique during any session — the weekly focus is just there as a starting point for those who want it.

• Week 1: Pinch Pot
• Week 2: Slab Building
• Week 3: Coil Building
• Week 4: Glazing
• Week 5: Surprise!

Full Access

Each Clay Club session includes up to 1.5 kg of clay, access to studio tools and materials, instructor guidance, firings, underglazes, and studio glaze options.

In your first session, you can build and decorate your pieces with underglaze. We’ll bisque fire them, and they will be ready in approximately 3–4 weeks.

To use our finishing glazes, including clear glaze and coloured studio glazes, you’ll need to return for a second Clay Club session once your pieces are fired. For the best value, come build over a few visits, then book one full glazing session to finish everything you’ve made at once.

You’re also welcome to leave pieces unglazed if you prefer that look.

Play With Clay

A lower-cost option for anyone who wants to try pottery without keeping the finished piece.

You’ll receive clay to build with during the session, but your piece will be recycled at the end and will not be fired.
