Our bespoke courses are tailored to your schedule, skill level and creative goals. Whether you are just starting out or looking to build on existing experience, each session is shaped around what you would like to achieve.
With no more than two people in the studio, there is plenty of time for individual guidance and support.
If you have something in mind, we would be very happy to talk it through and plan a session with you.

Whether you need advice on a piece you already own or support with how to approach a project, we can help. From choosing materials to refining techniques, we offer practical guidance tailored to you.
If you are based in Thanet, Kent, we can come to you. Otherwise, consultations can be arranged by phone or Zoom.
Stay with Us
Make a weekend of it and enjoy a night or two in Margate. We are based in Cliftonville, just minutes from Walpole Bay and its tidal pool, and close to the bars and restaurants along Northdown Road. Margate Old Town, Main Sands and the Turner Contemporary are all within easy walking distance.
You can book our room via Airbnb, and if you are joining us for a workshop, we will send you a code for 10% off your stay.

CREATIVE EXPERIENCES
What To Expect
Workshops are kept small to allow for a calm, supportive atmosphere and plenty of one-to-one guidance. All materials are included, and sessions are designed to move at a comfortable pace. No prior experience is needed – just come along and enjoy the process of making.
”Thank you, once again, to you and the rest of the class for making me feel so welcome.”
