An Artist-Led Pottery Studio
Ceramics Sculpture Studio is run by ceramic artist Cosmin Ciofirdel.
Classes are taught in small groups, with a focus on understanding form, material, and process through hands-on making.
-
In many studios, you are shown how to make a pot by following a set of steps. Here, the approach is different.
Classes are led by a practising ceramic artist, with a focus not only on technique, but on understanding form, material, and the quiet language of clay.
You are encouraged to observe, to pay attention, and to develop your own sensitivity to shape, balance, and proportion. Small irregularities are not corrected automatically, but explored — as part of the making process.
The aim is not perfection, but awareness. Over time, this builds confidence, independence, and a deeper connection to the work you create.
-
For over ten years, Cosmin has guided students of all levels in working with clay. Each class draws on his experience as a ceramic artist, combining practical techniques with a thoughtful, personal approach.
The focus is on building skills with confidence, while enjoying the process of making.
-
Classes and workshops are designed to support individual progress and encourage experimentation.
The focus is on hands-on guidance, attention to detail, and helping each student develop their own way of working with clay.
-
The studio is based in a historic Victorian warehouse in the heart of West Hampstead.
It offers a calm, focused environment for hands-on making, where students can develop their skills with guidance from an experienced ceramic artist.
-
From beginner sessions to multi-week courses and focused workshops, there is a range of options to suit different levels and interests.
Each class combines structure with creative exploration, supporting both skill development and personal expression.

What Students Say
“This is my favourite place in West Hampstead. I started doing a six week beginners throwing course which I loved so much I did it twice! I have been doing the 9 week practice course ever since. Cosmin is an amazing ceramics teacher who is exceptionally knowledgeable and patient. If you have been thinking about taking up pottery I cannot recommend the studio enough!’’
“I have been taken classes here for almost half a year now. Cosmin has always been a great teacher. I went from a total beginner, who started from basic cylinder to being able to explore and create shapes I want. I also love the small classroom setting here, in which every student can get good amount of guidance and attention so they can improve more quickly.’’
“Cosmin brings incredible warmth, charm and humour to his fabulous pottery classes. We had a mixed class of total novices (me) through to artists (definitely not me!) and we all produced work we could be proud of and use at home. Highly recommend’’
