Gluggle Jugs
Join us for a one-of-a-kind coiling workshop where you’ll create your very own gluggle jug, a functional piece with personality!
-
Whether you're inspired by the curves of a koi, the grin of a whale, or your own unique twist, this is your chance to bring a splashy, sculptural creation to life.
You’ll learn how to build a coiled form up to 25cm tall, shape it with character, and add those all-important design details that make gluggle jugs so irresistibly charming (and gluggly!). Bring along some reference photos, I recommend fish or whales, but any sea creature that inspires you is welcome!

All equipment, tools, and materials are provided, including snacks and hot drinks.
Glazing is not included.
Expect a relaxed, creative day full of clay, conversation, and coastal inspiration. Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned coil-builder, you'll leave with something truly special and maybe even a new obsession.

Raku Workshops
A fiery favourite returns… smoky, and spectacular! It’s a hands-on, fast-paced experience where the fire does half the talking!
-
Get ready for an afternoon of crackle, flame, and smoky magic as we dive into the thrilling world of Raku firing. Whether you're bringing your own bisque-fired pots or using ones made specially for you, this dramatic process never fails to surprise and delight.
We will explore a range of firing types, including classic glazes, naked Raku (with hair and feathers), and Obvara. Each brings its own unique textures, colours, and unpredictable beauty, perfect for curious makers and ceramic thrill-seekers alike.
Expect plenty of flame, fast cooling, and those signature Raku effects, from metallic flashes to smoky black crackles.

All materials and equipment are provided, and if you fancy experimenting, feel free to bring feathers or hair for some wild, smoky effects!
