Hand building with Clay workshop for 1, 2 or 3 people

*Taking bookings for March 2026 onwards. Workshop gift vouchers available for the perfect gift*

Join award winning ceramicist Katherine Lees for a fun guided clay workshop.

Make your own ceramics with me in my home garden studio, with a small group of your friends or family.

In this unique private workshop, I will show you how to hand build your own clay creation in a fun and relaxing atmosphere.

All materials, tools, aprons, and a piece of work for each person fired in my kiln to take home, are included. As well as a delicious baked treat & hot or cold drink for each person.

Workshops can be tailored to your specific needs and the object you would like to make, including one of the following: mug, planter, or two trinket dishes.

The main aim is to relax while handling the clay and have fun as you learn to create something in your own unique style.

Workshops are available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays or Sundays. Please put the date you would like in the notes section of your order.

The length of the workshop is approx 2.5 hours, choose between 10.30am-1pm or 2.30pm- 5pm. Each person receives a fired piece of work (can be collected approx 5/6 weeks after the workshop, or postage can be arrange at a small extra cost.)

If you would like to give a workshop as a gift, please add this in the notes section of your order and I can post you a gift voucher.

In this workshop you will also see behind the scenes of my studio space, where I make and fire all my work!
