BEGINNERS ARE WELCOME AT ALL OUR MONTHLY CLASSES
Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced artist our classes offer a fun, relaxed and nurturing environment to learn ceramics. We’ve created a space to inspire you, where you can switch off from the stresses of the outside world and channel your creativity into learning a craft. Come and make something you can use around the house or treasure forever. Our students range from complete beginners to those who have been coming to us for many years. Class sizes are small so the we can offer individual attention and tons and tons of encouragement.
“This is a fantastic place with real artists who care enough to spend their time bringing you up to speed on many levels. If your a beginner like I was this is the place to get started on the right foot. If you are an-accomplished potter you will find the space , equipment and access necessary to get you to your next personal best.” Corbin
“Pottery has become such an important part of my week. I’ve never pursued an activity that brings me such pleasure and peace, and I really look forward to both my classes each week. Faye and Grace are wonderful teachers!” Sonia
What to expect ……..
We run our classes in 4 week sessions. This makes it easier to fit it into your schedule and keeps it affordable. You’re welcome to only attend one four week session if you choose to, but we must warn you pottery is incredibly addictive and you will probably want to attend more! On the third week of class you have the option of signing up for another month of classes and then we put any empty spots on the website ( join our mailing list to be notified)
We teach throwing and handbuilding in most of our classes. Most students want to start on the wheel and we will take new students through the process of throwing, trimming and glazing a pot. If throwing isn’t for you give handbuilding a try. There are many ways to make something from clay and you are welcome to try as many as you wish from pinching to coiling to slab building.
If you prefer to attend a class which is only throwing or only handbuilding we have those too! At the end of the 4 week period you are welcome to switch to another class time, just ask your teacher about available space. Unfortunately we aren’t able to switch students to another class mid - month.
Our favorite comment from customers is “pottery class is the favorite part of my week” So if you feel like your week needs a little calm and creative time just for you come join us!
“With no pottery experience (and really no art experience) I started taking classes at LCW six years ago. Now my home is filled with original pieces and I always have presents to give my loved ones! Great place to learn or get back into a fully stocked studio with teachers to help at any level.” Sarah
“Awesome teachers. I come in with a pottery idea and they help me figure it out! Love London Clayworks!! Last project… orchid pot!” James

Join us for this fun introduction to throwing on the wheel. Aimed at complete beginners and those who need a refresher as well as anyone unable to commit to a full month of classes.
We will take you through all the steps of throwing a pot on the wheel. At the end of the session you will have one (or more) wet pot. These have to go through several processes before becoming a finished piece that you can take home.
We include clay and the teacher can finish any pieces you want to keep for an additional $15) Pottery will be ready to collect one month after class. You can pick up at any class (full schedule on our classes page)
Teacher : John Donovan
John has worked with ceramics most of his life. He earned his BFA from Loyola University and MA & MFA degrees from Stephen F. Austin State University. John has held too many teaching positions to mention, from community studios to universities. His relaxed and informative teaching style is appreciated by students. You couldn't ask for a more qualified teacher to start you journey with clay!
