per personThe workshop in detail
Join Violaine in her studio for a hands-on pottery experience.
Discover the step-by-step process of creating ceramics from scratch. Begin by learning how to prepare the clay by wedging, then shape it using basic pinching techniques.
Under Violaine's guidance you will explore different methods of surface decoration using tools and coloured slip. You'll also learn how to add handles to your pieces if you wish.
Once you've created your pieces, choose which one you'd like to have fired. You can choose to have a second pot fired for £5.
After firing, Violaine will apply a transparent or white glaze to your creations before firing them again at high temperatures.
In 4-6 weeks your ceramic creations will be ready to collect from the studio!
Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, Violaine's workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn and create your own ceramics!
Workshop location
The studio is easily accessible by public transport. For ‘on the go’ workshops, the workshop can be organised at the location of your choice within the artisan's approved radius.

Practical information
Please bring an apron, clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and trim your nails as long nails can get in the way (also bring a hair tie for throwing sessions).
Due to limited storage space at the studio, Violaine can only keep your pots for an extra 4 weeks from the day your pot is available for collection. Uncollected pots will be donated to charity.
Meet Violaine
Ceramicist
Meet Violaine, a skilled ceramic artist based in Shoreditch. Violaine discovered her love for working with clay in 2018, after attending a wheel-throwing workshop. She practised consistently, selling her creations, and fell in love with the craft. So much so that she left her career as a Design and Art Director to pursue her ceramics business full-time!
You can see influences from Violaine's French background in her chic ceramic style. While continuing to explore new techniques, recently focusing on sgraffito surface pattern, this sophisticated and clean look runs through her collections.
With over three years of teaching experience at a London pottery school, Violaine now invites enthusiasts to visit her in her studio where you will be truly immersed in an artist's space. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate, Violaine offers a supportive environment to learn and create your own ceramics from scratch.
Experience the joy of working with clay under Violaine's guidance, and express your creativity!
