There’s nothing quite like a proper roast dinner, and what better way to serve up the gravy than in a jug you’ve made yourself? Join us for a fun and relaxed pottery workshop where you’ll create your very own unique gravy jug – perfect for Sunday roasts, family dinners, and all those deliciously gravy-filled occasions.
Whether you’re completely new to pottery or have had a go with clay before, this hands-on class is a chance to get creative, learn some pottery skills, and make something you’ll actually use. You’ll be guided through the process of shaping your very own gravy jug, with plenty of opportunity to add your own style and personality to the finished piece.
Once your jug has taken shape, you’ll get to decorate it using a selection of colourful underglazes, giving your piece that extra pop of personality. Your jug will then be left to dry before being bisque fired, glazed, and fired once more, creating a beautiful, food-safe and dishwasher-safe piece that’s ready to use.
Your finished gravy jug will be available for collection in approximately 4–6 weeks – just in time to bring it out for those cosy autumn and winter roasts, and perhaps even Christmas dinner! And if you can’t collect it straight away, don’t worry – your creation will be kept safely at the studio for up to 6 weeks after it’s ready for collection.
Whether you’re joining us solo, bringing along a group of friends, or looking for a fun activity to enjoy together, this workshop is all about getting stuck into clay, having fun, and making something truly special (and useful!) for your table. Get creative, make it your own, and create a gravy jug you’ll reach for roast after roast.

Aprons are provided to protect your clothes - but I would always recommend not wear your Sunday best!
Anna is a UWE Fine Art graduate, having discovered ceramics in her second year, being taken by its tactility, and grounding properties. Initially exploring hand building techniques such as coiling and slab building, creating sculptural forms reminiscent of nature. She then discovered throwing on the wheel, loving its technical challenges. Continuing to expand on both these practices, apprciating the endless possibilitiesof clay, she enjoys experimenting with new methods and techniques to create abstract and functional forms. The transition into teaching was natural hoping she can help others find there own joy in clay, believing its versatility means there really is something for everyone.
