FAQ

Do I need any experience?

No. Tasters, courses and most workshops are open to all levels and complete beginners. A few intermediate workshops ask for prior wheel experience, and it will always say so on the date.

Who teaches the classes?

Our team of teachers — led by Dimitris, alongside a growing group of makers who work in the studio. You'll always have hands-on guidance throughout your session.

What should I wear?

Clothes you don't mind getting clay on. Aprons are provided, but clay has a way of finding you. Short or trimmed nails help a lot at the wheel.

When do I get my pieces?

Finished pieces are ready roughly 2–3 weeks after your final session, once they have been bisque-fired, glazed and fired again. We'll let you know when they're ready to collect.

Can I book for two?

Yes — just choose two places on the same date. For larger groups, see private hire below.
