Autumn at the Studio: New Courses, Workshops and the Return of Masterclasses

As the autumn term begins, Ceramics Sculpture Studio welcomes a new season of pottery wheel courses and workshops at our West Hampstead studio.

Working with clay is a process of observation, repetition and refinement. Whether approaching the wheel for the first time or returning to develop existing skills, regular practice offers an opportunity to deepen an understanding of the material and gradually establish a personal way of working.

Our autumn programme offers several ways to explore wheel throwing, from introductory sessions to more structured courses.

Pottery Wheel Courses and Workshops

For those new to ceramics, the Two-Hour Pottery Wheel Taster introduces the essential techniques of throwing, including preparing and centring clay and creating simple forms on the wheel.

The One-Day Pottery Wheel Workshop provides a longer introduction, with five hours dedicated to demonstrations, making and individual tuition. It allows participants to spend more time exploring the fundamentals and developing their first pieces.

For those wishing to work more consistently, the Six-Week Pottery Wheel Course offers a structured approach to learning and developing throwing skills. Through regular practice and individual guidance, participants can build confidence, refine their technique and gradually explore more challenging forms.

All sessions take place in small groups, allowing time for individual attention and guidance.

The Return of Masterclasses

in 2027

We are also pleased to announce the return of our masterclass programme in 2027.

Five masterclasses are planned throughout the year, bringing invited ceramic artists to the studio to share their individual approaches, techniques and experience.

The programme will begin on 15–17 January 2027 with Rhythm of Grace, a three-day masterclass led by Cosmin Ciofirdel, exploring the making process behind his Rhythm of Grace vessels.

The masterclass will be limited to eight participants, with a minimum of five required for the session to proceed. Expressions of interest are now welcome, with places confirmed once the minimum number of participants has been reached.
