We will ask for a payment of £5 at the end of the session if you would like us to fire your raw clay work for you. More info on this at bottom**
Trylla ceramics studio opens its doors to all budding potters. Whether you are an experienced potter or a beginner who wants to experiment with clay, all are welcome.
Clay Club acts as an open access to the studio and so this is not a taught lesson - however you have access to one of our technicians, who will be on hand to answer questions, should you need it.
The studio benefits from all the tools and equipment you will need to make great pots as well as all of the glaze colours you can imagine. We can also use our kiln to fire your work for you in at the end of your session.
If you opt for clay work you can use as much white or terracotta Earthenware clay as you like - it’s your choice. You will then spend the session making whatever you like, focusing on the form of your project.
In the following session you attend you might opt for colour work, to decorate your projects. You will have access to a HUGE selection of underglaze paints, jazzy speciality glazes and transparent topcoat to do this.
In this experience you will:
Whatever you create during your experience can either be squished and recycled or be fired by us and ready to pick up 2 weeks later.
More info on how it all works on our website here: https://tryllashop.co.uk/pages/clay-club.
We will ask for an additional £5 to cover the cost of firing your work. We wanted to explain why:
We hope that by implementing this new firing fee we will encourage people to be more conscious of only firing items they intend to keep. It will also mean we can recycle your unfired clay to be used again!
Age restrictions: 16+

Alice was very kind after my date stood me up :’) offered me a couple of options of moving sessions etc which was very nice of her to accommodate. i ended up staying for most of the session and it was fun and a good opportunity to do something i hadn’t done before. lots of tools and books available in the workspace which was good for a total beginner and there was unlimited clay which was nice. would come back! very cute little store in general
All the clay and equipment I needed to escape for a few hours into my own world of clay! Perfect escape.
Perfect activity. Thank you! X
Really nice experience
A very relaxing way to hang out with a friend
It was a really accommodating and welcoming experience and they really knew what they were talking about which was great for people who haven't done it before. I don't think either of our things will come through the kiln intact but they were honest about that too which was refreshing and we still decided to try it. It was nice to be able to try things and make mistakes by ourselves. I will absolutely be coming again when I can.
I had such a fun time at clay club. I hadn't done ceramics in ages, but the staff was warm, welcoming, and very helpful. Can't wait to return!
Great fun. It's like having a studio space. You can use all the tools and just make what you want. The host is there to assist and answer questions. Fun, mindful experience.
The hosts were lovely and made us feel welcome. Had great music and were great to talk to. The hosts were also very knowledgeable and offered support and advice where needed. Deffo will be coming again :)

Such a lovely atmosphere, it was so nice to have all the facilities and time to be creative!
Host was so lovely! We arrived at the end time by mistake and she couldn’t have been more accommodating, we had and amazing time, thank you! ❤️
A very relaxed play with clay, I loved the freedom to try whatever I liked!
I had a really good time! Trylla has an extensive array of materials available to use and the atmosphere was relaxed, welcoming and enjoyable. I'll be returning!
It’s always very welcoming and relaxed and a thoroughly nice way to spend an evening. Making whatever you fancy among other friendly souls doing the same. Alive the owner is great and Rebecca who hosts many if the sessions is also very helpful and friendly
Very fun and relaxed experience. Plenty of clay and tools to work with, and staff very helpful if you do have any questions
Trylla is a great space to make ideas and also play, a calming and creative afternoon
Good session and materials, just be aware there is a 3 week wait for getting items fired.
Creative and fun experience
Really enjoyed this experience. We had plenty of resources and it was such a relaxing activity!
Really lovely time. Can't wait to go back
The host was lovely and the shop is so unique and interesting!

Very relaxed atmosphere, could make as many things as you wished.
Good fun even for a first timer
Lovely setting. Affordable. Great fun
I had a fantastic time, great space to have a catch-up with friends. Will definitely be returning.
I had so much fun! There were so many different materials and tools to try, the host was lovely and very helpful even when I was constantly asking questions. I’m excited to go back!
Lots tools provided!
Thank you for a lovely evening! We had a real laugh and can’t wait to come back and glaze!
I love going to Trylla! 😊
I've been to a couple of Clay Club sessions now and am loving it!
Relaxed atmosphere with all the supplies I needed, perfect way to get me back into ceramics, thank you.
Fun experience
Great value for money and very well equipped. All staff lovely
I'm a regular at Trylla as really enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and chance to make what I want. I'm back again next week! 😁
I've been coming to clay club every couple months for a year now, and it's one of the best studio spaces I've ever worked in. The atmosphere is warm colorful and creative, the music is always boppin, and everyone running the session is always incredibly helpful.
It's good for both people who want to squash clay around like it's play-doh, and for people wanting to come and throw a full dinner set.
Lots of materials and tools and advice from the friendly host on a bog range of techniques for building with clay,
Another great session - thank you! 😊
We will come back for sure!!
I really bloomin love Clay Club! It’s the first time I’ve been since the PD ruin our fun and both myself and my friend had a bloody great time! Thanks Trylla!
Another great experience at Trylla! Thank you! 😁
Love love love!
It was really fun. I went with a friend and we had a great time and all the other people there were also incredibly friendly and sweet. Can’t wait to go again and glaze my pottery.
I really enjoy my clay sessions at Trylla due to the relaxed atmosphere and large variety of equipment available. I will be back!
I have been attending clay club for 6 months and really enjoy it. You can use unlimited clay and have a good amount of time (up to 2.5 hrs) and there is also useful guidance in the booklet provided or you can ask questions if you need help. It is a great chance to relax and get lost in either making something or glazing your items. I live quite a way south of Bristol but am very happy I found Trylla clay club and would recommend it to beginners or experienced clay artists!
Such a lovely way to spend an evening, we will be back!
Everything was spot on, great host, nice environment, self directed but help when you needed it, everything you could need provided!
Great value and really friendly atmosphere.
As always clay club was the best!
My daughter enjoyed her session as a birthday treat. Help was available as needed too.
It was a very relaxed vibe and you're free to get creative and do whatever you want. My only suggestion would be to offer a little more guidance to first time potters. Honestly loved it. Thank you so much.
Lovely experience, went there on a bank holiday with not so many people attending, it was really calming and relaxing! Can't wait to go again
Absolutely brilliant - looking forward to coming back soon!
Always amazing, such lovely people!
Another enjoyable session at Trylla, which I love for the chilled atmosphere and great facilities. Rebecca is a fantastic host. I will be back soon. 😊
Amazing workshop - great facilities, lovely people. I’ll definitely be booking in weekly 🌸
We all really enjoyed the experience
Really enjoyed this! Very relaxing and enjoyable.
I really enjoyed Clay Club! The Trylla team were really welcoming, the facilities and resources were excellent, and I had a really fun evening. I'm looking forward to coming back soon!

Brilliant experience
Great experience
I regularly attend the pottery sessions at Trylla as I think they're excellent value for money and I like the fact I have the freedom to make whatever I choose. They is a wide range of different tools and glazes to experiment with, and help if you need it. Highly recommended experience.
Loved it! Second time and will be back again.
I had so much fun! It was my first time trying pottery and I would definitely recommend it :) I look forward to joining your workshop again. I would love to paint the vase I created but I did not find an available class until the 22nd of June :(
Really nice experience
Great evening. Would be good as a first timer if tools, slip locations were labelled.
Really friendly space to have a creative evening.
Great fun
Really great session as per, lovely and relaxed
Very nice, I enjoyed doing my pottery pieces.
clay club is amazing! I've been going for months now, and I feel so free and full of ideas. I love the fact that you just go and do your thing, Rebecca is always there you assist you, there are always enough materials and somehow she remembers the things I did last the previous class! 10/10 would recommend, specially to newbies like me!!
Lovely, relaxing and fun evening at Trylla again. Highly recommended. 😊
Lovely relaxed atmosphere to be creative in!
Can not wait to paint my clays and so it again
Also will bring a friend along next time
Spaces are filling up so fast :(
Thank you!
Fun open studio type experience. Let your creative juices flow
It was so great! My boyfriend and I loved it- it was really lovely to be able to make whatever we wanted, and 1kg of clay is more than enough to last you 2.5 hours. Amazing!
Super fun and relaxed, really enjoyed the session and will deffo be back
I like that it was informal and I was able to take it at my own pace. There was good music playing quietly and an abundance of materials to explore. And I even got to keep my unused clay to practice at home.
Enjoyed coming back to glaze our creations 😊
We had a great evening at Trylla- would highly recommend
Loved the session and the company and music was on point! I'll be back x
love the vibes
Had another excellent evening at clay club
Amazing 👏 loved everything ❤ The creative Space, the assortment of clay, glazes and the freedom
Nice set-up, looking forward to another session!
Had a really lovely chill time and got to try out the pottery wheel (unguided) which was great fun even though I wasn't good at it. Will definitely have to book in again and have a go at the wheel!
Really nice atmosphere at Trylla to get into some pottery. Helpful host and well priced :)
Lovely space and relaxed atmosphere. Host was very helpful and lovely - I will be back!
I've been coming to Clay Club for a few months, and I love it. So friendly, easy-going and fun... a little oasis of calm and creativity in my week :)
Really nice and friendly environment
Very welcoming and accommodating with lots of tips and helpful feedback. Would definitely book again!
Went with my sister and had a lot of fun! You get to choose the type of clay to work with and have space to make whatever you want! There were couples, groups of friends, and people on their own attending; most people/groups are welcome!
We've booked in for our next session where we'll be painting and glazing our creations - very excited!
So much fun! Just what I needed after a stressful week - clear instruction provided and support is on hand of you need it but otherwise you’re left to just play with the clay and make want you want . Excited to go back and paint my creations ! Thanks!
6 of us went and had great time clay modelling. can't wait fro the glazing next!
Great experience
Great selection of clay and tools, and Alice and the other staff member were very helpful and lovely to chat to. We are excited to go back to glaze our creations, fingers crossed they survive the kiln!
Went in for a second session to paint the clay from 2 weeks ago. So many different coloured glazes to choose from, and Alice is always super helpful whenever you have a question. Would definitely recommend for a nice relaxed creative afternoon!
I had so much fun! Will definitely go back.
Always have the best time at Clay club, just wish I could spend a whole day there making things. Would recommend to anyone , the environment is always great and Alice is the best teacher 😎
Lovely and welcoming host. A great way to spend the evening. We had a great time thanks so much!
Loved attending the clay club! Very much looking forward to coming back.
Love it, and you! Thank you so much Alice x
We loved our time at Trylla! Booked a clay club session with friends to dust away the lockdown cobwebs, and do something a little creative. As a group of novices, Alice was incredibly helpful at pointing us in the right direction to get things started, and learn our way around the workshop. A lighthearted, entertaining evening, although we were totally absorbed for the whole 2.5 hours. Cant’ wait to glaze
It was lovely to be back at Clay club - returning to the relaxed and enjoyable sessions that Alice hosts. Nice to be back doing something playful and creative.
Each 6ft long table will have space for 2 people, with the exception of any pal you may have come along with who is a part of your ‘bubble’. Aprons will not be available, so please bring along your own if you would like! Please do not attend Clay Club if you have been in contact with anyone who may have Covid.
It is advisable to wear clothes you don't mind getting a bit messy. Some of the clays can stain white clothing so avoid wearing white.
The shop is right near Bedminster Parade so it is easily accessible from the centre of Bristol on the bus via the M1/ 24 / 75 / 76 busses. There is also Bedminster train station just a 15 minute walk away.
Trylla was created as a playful environment for people to experiment with ceramics and other crafts. It's run by Alice, Trylla's resident pottery nerd. Her goal with Trylla is to make ceramics more accessible to all budding potters in Bristol. It’s an emporium of weirdness, with walls covered in oddities in every colour you could imagine. Trylla has regular pottery experiences from wheel making to hand building, with a rainbow of glaze colours available. It also has a shop selling ceramics supplies and a range of handmade products from local makers.
