Autumn at Fatclay: Who's ready for some pottery?
Hope you had a wonderful, relaxing summer! As the days start to cool down, we’re getting ready to fire up the kilns and dive into a brand-new season of creativity.
We’ve had a busy start to the year, and we are so excited to share what’s coming up at Fatclay Pottery across both of our locations! From mastering traditional forms to exploring the human figure, there is plenty to get stuck into this season in both Southsea and Hambledon.
Whether you're looking to pick up a new hobby or refine your technique, we have a fresh lineup waiting for you:
Weekly Courses: Perfect for building consistent skills on the wheel or in hand-building over several weeks.
One-Off Workshops: Great for a creative weekend boost or trying out pottery for the first time.
Specialist Masterclasses: Deep dives into advanced techniques, sculpting and unique glazing styles led by guest tutors.
Spaces fill up quickly as everyone settles into their autumn routines, so head over to our website to explore the full schedule and secure your spot at the wheel.
We can’t wait to welcome you back into the studio!
Get into the spooky spirit with our Halloween-themed pottery workshop! Create your own eerie ceramic masterpieces, from ghostly figurines to pumpkin-inspired bowls. Perfect for all ages and skill levels
Courses
Whether you loved your recent workshop or you're stepping into the studio for the very first time, our core courses are designed to get you fully confident with clay. Choose from our 6-week Wheel Throwing or 4-week Handbuilding courses to master the essential foundations—from shaping and trimming to glazing—so you can work completely independently. Completing either course unlocks full access to our studio membership, giving you the open studio time, equipment, and community you need to keep creating whenever you like.
Immerse yourself in the dramatic world of smoke and flame to create beautifully unique, crackled pieces.
