These classes cater for a range of different abilities within the same group and are student-led: You can come and learn new techniques or bring an idea along for your tutor to help you turn into a project that you can plan, craft and refine.

These classes are booked in sets of six weeks and take place over 2.5 hours on weekday or Sunday evenings. When you book, you’ll find there are a number of tickets you can choose from depending on your preferences:

Things to remember

You'll have everything you need waiting for you here, including refreshments, parking, lockers for your possessions and room to change. Please note that, as each student will be making different work, the cost of materials is not included in the course fee and will be charged separately.

Are these classes suitable for people who are new to the studio?

Not quite! You'll have a tutor to guide you whenever you need, but you will be expected to be familiar with all the basic pottery techniques and the layout and workings of the studio. If you'd like access to the classes, you will first need to attend a beginner course. If you have previous pottery experience, then don't feel put off by this - the way run our studio means we have access to exceptionally professional tools, techniques and materials, many of them unique to us. You'll likely find our beginner course very useful for extending your existing knowledge as well as having plenty of opportunity for personalising your pieces and getting started on your own projects during the sessions.

What are the firing fees?

Standard sized work: £16 per kilo (up to 20cm wide & 14cm tall) Large sized work: £23 per kilo (up to 30cm wide & 22cm tall) Extra large work: Only by arrangement Minimum fee of £1 per piece Large flatware: +£1 Extra large flatware +£3 Note: flatware takes up a disproportionate amount of room in the kiln, which is why it costs a little extra. The size is defined by how many of an item could fit on a 42cm kiln shelf: If 3 or more could fit, then it is regular and there is no extra fee; if up to 2 could fit then it is large; if only 1 could fit, then it’s extra large.

It has been now over a year since I joined Odile's studio. The studio is spacious, tidy and offers all different kind of tools to work with. There is lots of flexibility regarding the courses and bookings to fit my pottery-making journey. The team is lovely, helpful to any queries and always welcomes us with a smile and a warm cup of tea! Totally recommend it!

Wonderfully dedicated teacher(s) and well-kept studio constantly evolving with new practical solutions to our projects (from unexpected moulds to miniature glazing techniques). A place of creative focus and peace during a stressful week of city life.

Odile now works full time as a potter and pottery teacher. She's invented many of the tools, teaching aids and techniques they use at the studio and is constantly experimenting with new ideas and processes. . She also likes cooking and gardening because she can make the dishes...
