From Earth to Hands
Permission to play. Permission to get messy. That's the Creativity Hood way with clay 🎨 Wonky is welcome, "not yet" beats "can't," and nobody's making a perfect creation on week one — we're just here to build skills and have fun experimenting. Perfect for kids who want to try pottery without signing up for weekly classes.

01
Who it's for?
Total beginners! We've designed this course for kids who want to experience pottery and explore multiple different techniques.

02
What to bring / wear?
Clothes that can get clay on them (it washes out but why risk the good stuff), short or tied-back hair helps, and an apron if you've got one — we have spares. Bring a drink. Trim your nails if you can!

03
The firing catch
Clay can't be rushed. Pieces dry over the course, get bisque fired after week 4, then glaze fired after week 6. Finished work is ready to collect about a month after the final class.

04
The studio vibe
Relaxed, chatty, a bit of music, and possibly a cameo from Teddy or Smockles. Come as you are — this is a no-pressure creative wind-down, not a masterclass.
