Pottery Expert Tuition

Enjoy friendly, practical pottery tuition in our garden studio in Aston, in-between Whitchurch and Nantwich. Whether you’re completely new to clay or developing your skills, we’ll guide you through hand building or throwing on the wheel at your own pace.


With a maximum of six people per session, or only one or two people if private tuition is booked, there’s plenty of individual support. We have two pottery wheels, so wheel time is shared when needed. Materials, tools, aprons and refreshments are provided.

Our approach is to help you create what YOU wish to make. We have lots of pictures, books and images to inspire you, or you might already have in mind what you want to make.  We're here to  help you develop the skills, and create pots that excite you. 

Sometimes we have workshops dedicated to specific makes, but most of the time we help everyone as individuals to make unique makes they can be proud of!
