Pottery Classes
All of our pottery classes take place in our dedicated teaching spaces in our beautiful pottery school located Bristol’s historic Christmas Steps Arts Quarter. Our teachers are professional potters with established practices in and around Bristol.
Our wheel-throwing classroom is on the ground floor, and can accommodate up to six students in each class.
Our hand-building classroom is on the first floor, and can accommodate up to eight students in each class.
Please note that we offer specific courses for 12-18 year olds; all other courses are for adults aged 18 and over.
Finished work is usually ready for collection four to six weeks after the end of the course – for our current pottery pick-up times, please check here.
