Candle Glow: Ceramic Candle Holder

Because store-bought is boring.
A creative ceramics event where timeless gameplay meets handmade design.

Turn a lump of clay into a full set of playable art.
In this relaxed, hands-on session, you’ll sculpt and personalise your own set of ceramic dominoes—each tile crafted by hand, with your own creative twist.

Classic game, modern glow-up.
With step-by-step guidance, you’ll shape, dot, and decorate each piece—whether you go minimalist, maximalist, or totally abstract. Add texture, colour, or subtle flair. No experience needed—just a love of making and maybe a bit of strategy.

You’ll leave with:

• A full domino set, handmade and uniquely yours
• New clay skills (and maybe a new hobby)
• A game-night centerpiece with serious style

Once your set is fired in the kiln, it’s ready to play, gift, or simply admire.

Satisfying to make. Even better to play.

🌀 From Your First Lump of Clay to a Wheel-Thrown Masterpiece (or Three)

Ready to spin, centre, and make something beautifully yours?
This 3-week beginner course is your fast, fun intro to the swirling, muddy magic of the potter’s wheel. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to get your hands dirty.

Over three weeks, you’ll learn the three essentials of wheel throwing:

1. Shaping on the wheel
   
2. Trimming and refining your forms
   
3. Glazing your fired pieces for a final, lasting shine

You’ll start with the basics — prepping clay, finding your centre — then move on to pulling up walls, experimenting with form, and creating real pieces like cups, bowls, or small vases.

Along the way, you’ll get into the rhythm of the wheel, find your own pace, and discover why so many potters fall in love with this meditative, hands-on craft.

This course is perfect if you’ve always wanted to try the wheel — or if you’ve had a first taste and are ready to go deeper.

✏️ What to Expect

• Weekly classes with hands-on instruction and demos
• Personalised guidance in a small group setting
• Techniques like wedging, centering, opening, pulling, shaping & trimming
• Intro to decorating tools: carving, stamping, and adding attachments
• The basics of glazing and finishing
• Full access to our professional ceramics studio and tools
• Time to explore, experiment and build confidence on the wheel

🧠 What You’ll Learn

• How to prepare and centre clay on the wheel
• The core techniques of throwing symmetrical forms
• How to trim and refine your pieces once leather-hard
• Surface design & decoration techniques to make your work your own
• Basic glazing principles and studio workflows
• Best practices for independent practice and next steps

🎁 What’s Included

• All tools, materials, and clay
• Use of studio equipment and your own wheel each session
• Firing & glazing of your finished pieces
• Safe storage of your works between sessions
• Your handmade ceramics — ready for pickup approx. 4 weeks after the last class

All you need to bring is comfy clothes, tied-back hair, and a sense of adventure. We’ll provide aprons, towels — and of course, encouragement.

🤔 Is This Course Right for Me?

Absolutely. This course is ideal for:

• Complete beginners with no wheel experience
• Anyone who’s taken a taster and is ready to deepen their skills
• Creatives looking for structure, flow, and personal growth at the wheel

If you’re more experienced, you may want to explore our intermediate courses or ongoing Studio Classes to continue developing your style.

🥂 First Class Vibes: Sips, Snacks & Hellos

We like to kick things off on a warm and social note. During the first class, we’ll take a little extra time to get to know each other — and we’ll toast to the beginning of your creative journey with a welcome drink. Choose from a soft drink, hot drink, wine, prosecco, beer — or our Cocktail of the Week.

🍴 Feeling peckish?
