Wheel Throwing – Pay as You Throw

For potters with previous wheel-throwing experience, these open studio sessions provide dedicated time to practise techniques and develop your own ceramic projects.

You will have access to:

• Pottery wheels
• Standard stoneware clay
• Studio tools and equipment
• Bisque firing for completed work
• Studio glazing facilities
• A selection of studio glazes

These sessions are designed for independent practice rather than structured tuition. They offer the perfect opportunity to refine your throwing skills, experiment with new forms, and continue developing your confidence on the wheel.

Whether you are creating mugs, bowls, vases, or exploring more advanced projects, the studio provides a welcoming space to continue your pottery journey.

Dates: On select Mondays, Fridays & Saturdays (check website for availability and booking)

Hand Building – Pay as You Build

For potters who enjoy hand building, these flexible studio sessions provide dedicated creative time to work on your own projects.

You can use a range of hand-building techniques to create:

• Decorative ceramics
• Functional pottery
• Sculptural pieces
• Garden art
• Ceramic home décor
• Personal creative projects

Tools and stoneware clay are provided, allowing you to focus entirely on the creative process. These sessions are ideal for developing existing skills, experimenting with new ideas, and working on longer-term projects.

As with the throwing sessions, participants work independently without formal tuition, making them perfect for those who already have some experience working with clay.

Dates: On select Mondays, Fridays & Saturdays (check website for availability and booking)

Access Professional Studio Facilities

One of the biggest benefits of these open studio sessions is access to professional pottery facilities.

Completed work will be bisque fired and can then be glazed during a future booked session or at a designated glazing visit. A range of studio glazes is available, and experienced potters may also bring their own specialist glazes for personal projects.

Having access to firing and glazing facilities allows you to create finished ceramic pieces while continuing to develop your skills in a professional studio setting.

The Perfect Way to Build Confidence

Pottery is a craft that develops through practice. These flexible sessions provide valuable time to experiment, improve techniques, and gain confidence without the pressure of following a structured course.

Many potters find that regular studio sessions help them progress more quickly while giving them the freedom to focus on projects that inspire them most.

Whether you enjoy wheel throwing, hand building, or a combination of both, these pay-as-you-go pottery sessions offer a fantastic opportunity to continue creating, learning, and developing your skills.

For anyone searching for open pottery studio sessions in Hampshire, independent wheel throwing practice, or flexible hand-building workshops, these sessions provide the perfect creative space to keep making pottery.
