Hello Potters!
Welcome to our space for all abilities and interests in ceramics. From beginners to seasoned potters we provide community, accessibility and a whole lot of fun in our hand building and throwing classes.
We opened our doors on the 19th June 2026 and are working to expand our experiences into courses and classes of larger varieties! Keep an eye on what we have to offer in our experiences section below to find the right pottery fix for you.

What's it all about?
Fran, Kate and Daizy gained their experience apprenticing and running pottery classes from one of UK's leading ceramics manufacturing sites. Unfortunately, their pottery home needed love which it did not quite find and this left the Potters wondering how they keep their dream job going...
Enter stage, The Potter's Nook.
Something tangible is something loveable and that is the joy we want to spread with ceramics. Making pottery accessible, relaxed, and joyful for beginners and skilled potters alike is our motto. Join us for a fulfilling experience or get invested in your pottery abilities by taking a course. For experienced visitors, consider booking a wheel to keep tuning those skills!
