Wild Pottery
On Wild Pottery you’ll dig clay onsite, then fire your pots in the woods, leaving no trace. An exciting, elemental and alchemical process of earth, water, wood, fire.
Courses take place in a beautiful 70 acre private woodland near Lewes in East Sussex, UK

Really, really enjoyed those two days – we all felt very refreshed and inspired. I have my pot on my desk to remind me of the wonderful experience. Simon, Brighton
Enchanting from start to finish. Not just digging the clay, the creating, the fire-making… but the magic you imbued it all with, and the care you took. All in that special woodland. I want to do it all over again! Jini Reddy, author of ‘Wanderland’ and ‘Wild Times’
