Pumpkins, Leaves, Skulls and Trees! Are you ready? Let’s get making!

We’re excited to offer some Saturday light sessions, starting in September. Bring your family or bubble group members, and come get your hands dirty for an hour – they’re a tenner per person, and your project will be ready to collect the following week. There’s room for four folks per session (social distancing in mind), and several time slots throughout the day – we’ll do a thorough cleaning of the space/equipment in between.

Sat 12 Sept Pinch Pot Pumpkins Join us for a fun, one-hour makery session. Come learn how to pinch pottery pumpkins, and leave your finished creations for us to glaze and fire.

Sat 26 Sept Autumn Leaf Buttons  Join us for a fun, one-hour makery session – bring your family or bubble group, and come learn how make your own Autumnal leafy pottery buttons.

Sat 10 Oct Scary Skull Sculptures Join us for a fun, one-hour makery session. Come and learn how to sculpt a pottery skull to decorate your wall.

Sat 14 Nov Oh! Christmas Trees!  Join us for a fun, one-hour makery session, where we’ll build an adorable Christmas Tree using simple slab-building and scissors.

Sat 5 Dec Oh! Christmas Trees!  Join us for a fun, one-hour makery session, where we’ll build an adorable Christmas Tree using simple slab-building and scissors.

Book your pottery spot before they’re gone!

Fancy one of these projects, but can’t make it in person? They’re also available as Clay Kits; included in the box is everything you need to make at home, and a voucher for later firing at the studio.

Ready for Clay Adventures!

After much thought, research, and discussion with colleagues, we made a plan to reopen the studio, as safely as possible. It won’t be quite as we imagined before – no drop in sessions, and sadly no wild mud flinging parties, for now…

We can, however, allow single students/family units in the studio, capping the number of bookings, so that we can clean between each lesson. I’ll be wearing my jolly mask, and encourage you to do so, as well. Let’s clay safe, friends!

Check out our:

• All Inclusive Private Sessions Date nights, birthdays and family days.
• General Access Passes – tutored or untutored Ongoing private lessons/ access to the studio for committed clayists
• At-Home Clay Kits are still on offer – if you fancy a project but don’t see a suitable kit, give us a shout, we’ll assemble one for you.

Grab a kit, or purchase your pass and book your slot(s), and come have fun!

From now through the month of August the coupon code CLAYPLAY will get you 10% off kits, passes and sessions. Give the gift of mud, to yourself or someone you REALLY like… (but make sure you really like them because nothing says I love you like mudflinging!)

Also happening here on the farm: the Best Ever Brownie Company and Fluffy Puffin are selling onsite, and we have a stunning new seating area outside. Come say hi, and have a coffee (milkshake, in this heat!!) and enjoy fresh air and sunshine.

For you independent clayists nearby, we are still taking in work for firing. Contact us if you’ve got a backlog of greenware – we can do shelves, whole kiln loads, or pieces at a cm3 rate.

Wishing you all a delightful weekend!

How is it May already? It’s glorious outside, and the bird are singing…

And we’re still more locked down than not. But it’s never boring at the pottery – and you can get in on the joy, too, with one of our kits.

One of our main goals, in taking on the studio, was to create a welcoming community space. Sadly, we haven’t been able to, so far. As disappointing as that may be, we’re deeply proud and impressed by everyone’s efforts to keep us all safe, and we’re still determined to help folks get their clay on in whatever ways we can.

We’ve developed some clay-at-home kits, suitable for young and old. Included in each is everything you’ll need for a fun afternoon’s mudslinging: clay, tools, templates, instructions, and a voucher for later firing of your finished projects! Choose from birdhouse, rattle shaker, tumbler style cup, or a trio of tiles to carve. If you’re nervous about undertaking it alone, you can add a private (online) lesson onto your kit, at a discounted rate – we’re looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Shipping to you is free, and since you were kind enough to read this far, here’s a coupon code for 10% off your order of kits from our website: SUMMERSUN

For you independent clayists nearby, we are still taking in work for firing. Contact us if you’ve got a backlog of greenware – we can do whole kiln loads, or pieces at a cm³ rate.

Wishing you all a delightful weekend!

Hang in there,
