Pottery Classes & Workshops in The New Forest
Small-group pottery classes and private workshops in Sway, Hampshire — run by me, Isil, from my SpudWorks studio on the edge of the New Forest. Whether you’re brand new to clay, coming back after a break, or looking for somewhere special for a birthday or hen-do, you’re very welcome.
4-Week Adult Pottery Courses
A friendly, no-experience-needed course that meets once a week for four weeks. You’ll learn hand-building and decorating techniques, glaze your own pieces, and leave with a small collection of finished stoneware that’s genuinely yours. £120 for the full course, all materials included.

Please note:
On the 4- weeks course, clay is available to purchase from the studio and firing is charged separately based on the weight of your finished pieces. This will be payable at the end of the course.
As part of our community, you’re welcome to make up any missed classes.
Book the studio for your group — hen parties, birthdays, small team-building days for local businesses, or a quiet creative afternoon with friends. Minimum four people, maximum twelve. I’ll tailor the session to the group’s experience level and the vibe you’re after.
