💛 Price Update — from 1st April 💛
Hi all pottery lovers,
Our prices will be updated from 1st April.
Even though our power and operating costs have increased, we’ve done our best to keep prices the same for as long as possible. Now it’s time for us to make a small adjustment.

If you’d like to join at the current rate, feel free to book your March sessions. We’d love to create with you before the update. 🏺✨

Thank you for supporting our studio and helping us continue offering warm, fun and creative sessions.
As a small team, we truly feel how challenging it is for small businesses to survive these days. Your support means everything — we simply wouldn’t be here without you. 💕
Our little team deeply appreciates every one of you. 🌿🤍

RAKU is a pottery firing method that started in Japan centuries ago, where glazed clay pieces are removed from a hot kiln and rapidly cooled, often in combustible materials like sawdust or straw. This dramatic process creates beautiful crackled textures, smoky colours, and one‑of‑a‑kind surfaces that make each piece totally unique! 💨🔥🏺

Our Black & White Cat Vase session felt like a little celebration of creativity 🖤🤍

Watching everyone shape their cats with two different clays — the soft contrast of black and white — was pure joy. Each vase carried its own personality, its own story 🐾✨

Now they’re resting in the studio, waiting for us to add the magic that brings them fully to life 🔥✨
I can already imagine how beautiful they’ll turn out.

This Sunday, we’re hosting our Microwave Pottery Workshop 🎨
A perfect chance to play, explore, and create something that feels entirely yours.
