Pottery classes · North Anston, near Sheffield

You've always fancied a go at pottery, but don't have a kiln.

I do. And a wheel, shelves of glazes, and a big table with a place saved for you. Everyone starts with the two-session course: £60, everything included. After that, keep coming for as long as you like.

Clay Club

Everyone starts with the two-session course

It's how you get to know the clay, the studio, me, and the people round the table. You'll make a glowing tea light house while you find your way around.

Cutting clay round a paper template at the table

Make it

You cut the pieces round a template, so nobody is left staring at a lump of clay. The windows, the door and the roof are your own design. Have a go on the wheel while you're here.

Brushes and bottles of glaze laid out on the studio table

Glaze it

Your house goes into the kiln for its first firing. In session two it comes back ready to glaze and decorate, then it goes in again for its final firing.

Take it home

I'll message you the moment it's out of the kiln, and you come and collect it. After that, what you make next is entirely up to you.

Pick your dates

Two 3-hour sessions, normally a week apart. £60 for both, everything included. Book with a £10 deposit and pay the rest on your first session. Tap a time to book it.

Painted pieces go back into Bertha for their glaze firing, which is where the shine comes from.

Round the table

A few happy people enjoying themselves

Small groups, a big table, and nothing to live up to. Six places a session. Come with a friend or on your own. Most people who finish the course keep coming back, so there's usually a familiar face or two.

Studio hire

The wheel, the studio and the kiln

For potters who need a kiln, and for groups who want the studio to themselves.

Already a potter?

Use the wheel, the studio and the kiln at the same prices as Clay Club. I'm always on hand if you'd like a second pair of eyes.

  • 1 session £35
  • 2 sessions £60
  • 4 sessions £100

Clay, glazes and firing all included.

Bring your friends

A birthday, a hen do, or friends or colleagues who fancy trying something together? The Atelier can be yours on a day that suits you, for up to 8 people.

If it's your group's first time, you'll start with the two-session course, just like everyone who joins Clay Club. For groups of 5 or more, get in touch with the dates you have in mind and I’ll put together a group price for you.

Hello

I'm Jacqui

The Atelier is my craft cabin in North Anston, on the edge of Sheffield. It already has everything the hobby needs: two kilns, Bertha and Herbert, a wheel, shelves of glazes and a big table.

Most people who'd love to try pottery never do, because a kiln can cost more than a holiday. So I opened the door. Clay Club is the part of the week I most look forward to.
