The workshop in detail
Welcome to Violaine's pottery studio, where you'll experience the art of pottery first hand.
She'll start your session with a demonstration, giving you an insight into her technique.
With Violaine's guidance, you'll learn the step-by-step process of throwing your own vase. You'll start with a lump of clay and work it into the shape you want. Each session includes one piece of up to 2kg of clay, with the option to purchase additional clay for a small fee.
After your session, your vase will be dried slowly, after which Violaine will take care of the firing and glazing process using either a clear or white glaze.
If you're interested in learning additional techniques such as trimming or glazing, you can arrange further sessions with Violaine.
After firing, your vase will be ready for collection within 4-6 weeks. You'll receive an email inviting you to collect your finished creation from the studio.
Experience the art of ceramics in Violaine's warm and welcoming workshop!

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!
