Pottery workshops in my studio
If you fancy having a go at pottery, you can join me in my garden studio in Melbourne, Derbyshire. Use different pottery techniques to hand-build with clay or perhaps try throwing on the wheel.
My workshop sessions are designed to be enjoyable for complete novices – you don’t need any prior experience.
I have a maximum of 4 people in each workshop so I can easily provide any help & guidance along the way.
- Slab building, pinching, coiling and wheel throwing are all options.
- All materials, equipment and aprons are provided.
- Workshop session length is dependent on what we’re making.
- I fire the pieces you want to keep for collection/delivery later.
Please see specific workshops here for more details.
Introduction to Wheel Throwing Workshops
Have you always wanted to have a go on a pottery wheel? My wheel throwing sessions are typically one-to-one, or I can accommodate 2 people if you want to bring a friend and are happy to take turns on the wheel. These introductory sessions are designed for anyone who wants to have a go at wheel throwing and who has no prior experience. Come and have some fun with clay.
How to book a pottery workshop
My standard workshop sessions are available to book online here. There’s a maximum of 4 people for the hand-building workshops and 2 people for the wheel throwing.
Pottery Workshop Gift Voucher
If you know someone who’d like to have a go at hand building or throwing on the wheel, I offer gift vouchers for my pottery workshop sessions. These can either be emailed or printed and sent to you or directly to the gift recipient. More details can be found here.
If you’ve got any questions, please do ask me before booking.

“I found the experience very enjoyable! Lucy was very patient & explained each step along the way. I’m not the most creative person, but with Lucy’s guidance I was successful in creating my own little pottery cat! Would highly recommend.”

“Such a lovely evening in Lucy’s cosy cabin, making pottery. As a complete novice, I’m amazed by the dog I made. Lucy’s instructions were so clear and easy to follow. A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing time. Thank you!”

”The entire experience was well planned and guided while still allowing for creative freedom. Lucy was helpful by providing templates that made each step clear but personalised. Would definitely be interested in further workshops in the future.”
