We kick off week 1 with a fantastic mozzie coil holder. The variety you can add to this design is exciting! Let's get wrangling!!
-
Monster keepers are very cute and very versatile for lollies, trinket holder, incense, candles, soap dish, fairy lights. The possiblities are plenty.
-
There are many different kinds of face sculptures that you can create, it is always fun exploring the different techniques of creating a face.
-
There are many designs you can add to a simple slab platter, carving/ ingraving, imprinting, glaze stencil & hand painted glaze designs. Always well worth have a go at this fun project.

With projects that are more intricate in design, they can take 2 weeks to complete, so you will learn to wrap your clay project and put it into stasis until you can return to them.
-
Water fountains are so much fun to create. They are simpler than they look and you can add lots of creative bits and bobs. There will be an extra cost of the pump associated with this project.

This is a very simple but decorative candle wall sconce. We get into a few different inpression and glazing techniques with this possible project.

This was another popular possible project idea.....For me it's because it can hold delicious coffee

Studio Meraki is a safe and inclusive space located in the hills of Kelmscott, surrounded by trees and birds. Offering various classes in a fun and relaxed environment. Pottery classes are small allowing the space to be able to learn in a cosy and comfortable community of like-minded humans :)
-
This course includes all your clay, firing & glazing for your projects. It takes 4-8 weeks to turn around your projects from start to finish, there will be some pieces that will only be available for collection after the course has finished on your "Graduation day". Your “graduation day” will be organised during your course. We appreciate your patience in this creative process.
-
We make every effort to ensure all work is completed and returned to you safely. On occasions, your pottery may break or crack in the kiln- this is unavoidable because pottery is a weird and wonderful delicate process that can have a mind of it's own. If this does occur there is usually always a way to transform your piece so it is still a work of creative inspiration :)
-
We are committed to providing a welcoming and positive experience for all, regardless of background, orientation, identity, or neurodiversity.
We celebrate our unique differences and reinforce that respect to provide clear pathways to support fostering this inclusive mindset. -
