The workshop in detail
In this private class, Violaine will welcome you to her studio and introduce herself and her background.
After a demonstration of how to throw a bowl on a potter's wheel, it's your turn. With Violaine's help, you'll have the chance to create your own piece of pottery, learning how to shape a lump of clay into a vessel. Violaine will guide you through each stage and break the process down into clear and manageable steps.
Choose which one of your creations you would like to be fired (an additional pot can be fired for an extra £5).
If necessary, Violaine will give the bottom of your pot a basic trim, to eliminate any excess clay.
After the first firing, Violaine will glaze your pot with a transparent or white glaze, before firing again at high temperature. Then all you have to do is wait for your piece to be ready for collection, which usually takes 4-6 weeks.
Whether you're looking to learn a new skill or just relax and get creative, Violaine's workshop offers a welcoming environment for all!

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 artisan who switched from life as a Design and Art Director to ceramics after discovering the craft in 2018.
Looking for a break from fast-paced city life and deadlines, she found solace in working with clay. After joining a community studio and attending classes, she began selling her minimalist tableware, influenced by her French roots, and eventually she set up her own studio in Hackney.
Violaine continues to explore new techniques and styles, recently focusing on more surface decorations. With over three years teaching experience at a London pottery school, she now invites enthusiasts to visit her in her studio where you will be immersed in an artists space, surrounded by other makers. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate, Violaine offers a supportive environment to learn and create your own ceramics.
Experience the joy of working with clay under Violaine's guidance, and express your creativity!
