Masterclasses
New for 2027
Learn from some of the UK’s most inspiring ceramic artists.
Our new Masterclass programme offers a unique opportunity to spend dedicated time learning directly from talented makers whose work you may have admired for years. These are immersive, hands-on workshops designed to give you an insight into the techniques, skills and creative approaches that have shaped their distinctive styles.
Hosted at our beautiful studios in the heart of Cheshire, each Masterclass has been carefully selected to inspire, challenge and develop your own ceramic journey. Whether your passion lies in expressive handbuilding, confident wheel throwing, striking sculptural forms or beautiful surface decoration, you’ll find workshops that will broaden your skills and spark new ideas.
Masterclasses are typically held at weekends and run over one or two days, allowing plenty of time to learn, experiment and create under expert guidance.
Some Masterclasses are designed for experienced potters looking to refine their practice, while others are perfect for those keen to develop their skills with the support of an accomplished maker. Each workshop clearly states the level of experience required, helping you choose the experience that’s right for you.
Whether you’re looking to master a new technique, discover fresh inspiration or simply spend time creating alongside some of the finest ceramic artists in the country, our Masterclasses promise an unforgettable learning experience.
