A journey in clay is a journey in new ideas, perseverance, growth and wellness.

When it comes to creativity, your environment is almost as important as your medium. In not only the physical sense, but also in how much space you give your brain to let in new ideas.

From short term classes to long term courses, we have an option for every skill set and timeframe.

“Thanks for looking after Tarik so well. He really enjoyed the class and I think he was surprised that he felt so pleased with the mug he’d made. He said the process was really meditative. So it was all a big success.”
