Stafford Clay Studio

My wife bought me the 4 week course in throwing on the wheel. I cannot recommend this enough, absolutely fantastic time. Pip & Libby are lovely. Pip was my tutor, extremely talented, knowledgeable and patient. Facilities are amazing, nice small groups, all equipment is provided including tea and coffee! I’ll be booking to come back for the 8 week course. 👏👏👏

We booked a 2 hour taster throwing sessions for our mums for mothers day and what an experience it was.. Libby was our instructor and she was fantastic full of knowledge very kind and welcoming from start to finish. The course was detailed throughout hands on from start to finish creating four of our own pieces. We all left wanting more. We will definitely be returning. Thank you very much for our first clay experience. We will be back im sure 😊😊

A family experience Christmas pressie. What a fabulous time we had. Really great to try something new, get messy and take home a keepsake piece of pottery. Pip was fabulous, fun and knowledgable. (Sorry if we were a little quiet Pip- think we all had our concentration faces on!). Highly, highly recommended. 💖

I just completed the 4-week pottery throwing course at Stafford Clay Studio, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone looking to refine your skills, this course perfect! From day one, the studio felt warm, welcoming, and creatively charged. Pip was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, guiding us through each stage—from centering and pulling to trimming and glazing—with hands-on demos and personal feedback. Every week built beautifully on the last, and by the end, I was throwing mugs and pots to take home to use everyday. The studio itself is a haven for creativity, with all the tools and materials you need, plus a great vibe. I left each session feeling inspired and proud of what I’d made. If you’ve ever wanted to try pottery, this is the place to do it. 🎨 Thank you Stafford Clay Studio for an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be back for more!

I booked this for my partner’s birthday and we had a great time. Our teacher, Pip, was friendly and really good at explaining what to do, but also allowed us to be hands on. Having a cuppa and a biscuit through the initial demonstration was a nice touch. We look forward to picking our pots up in a couple of weeks.

An absolutely awesome 4 week course. Pinch pots, slab work, roll and throw. I will be going back for another course. The staff and facilities were fab, and my fellow course members were a joy. Highly recommended

Absolutely wonderful 2 hour introduction experience for us 2 complete novices. Such a friendly, welcoming studio; Pip is magnificent, such an excellent, patient tutor, amazing at correcting our mistakes like magic , helping everyone and taking photos for us all. Time flew by we enjoyed it so much . We had plenty of time to make 4 pots and then choose 1 in with the price and choose others if we wished ( which we did!) to have bisque fired, glazed, fired again and then collect in a couple of weeks! Can’t wait! We cannot recommend enough ✨✨✨✨✨. Our only reluctance in doing so is that they become so busy, we can’t book to come again! If this is something you’ve thought about doing but maybe feel a little uncertain about, go for it at Stafford Clay Studio , you won’t be disappointed 🤩 👍 😊. Thank you so much Pip 🙏 ☺️.
