Welcome to
Clayful is all about releasing your inner child, exploring creative techniques and trying new things. The classes are always in hand-picked locations, with a fun, relaxed atmosphere perfect for a mindful activity like pottery.
After graduating in 2019, Hollie used her pottery skills to teach others, in a relaxed social setting.
Slab-building, pinch-pots, wheel-throwing, coiling - we do it all.
WORKSHOP DATES NOW LIVE FOR NOVEMBER
My hand-building group workshops will be using the method of ‘pinching’ - which is super versatile and suitable to all skill levels, from complete beginners to those that are pottery wizards. All abilities are welcome, I encourage fellow potters to use these sessions as a fun social event and complete newbies to discover a new creative skill.
