Weekend Hand-Built Teapot Workshop: 10am – 3pm 

When is this workshop?

16th & 17th October 2027 – 10am – 3pm each day

What will I learn?

Day 1
The morning will be spent constructing the body of your teapot, refining the surface and creating a perfectly fitting lid. In the afternoon, you’ll design, build and attach the spout, learning how to achieve both form and function.

Day 2
The second day focuses on creating and attaching the handle before refining every detail of your teapot. Once the construction is complete, you’ll plan and apply your decoration using coloured slips, carving, texture and mark-making to create a truly personal piece.

What will I take away?

After the workshop, your teapot will be carefully dried, glazed and fired twice in the kiln. Your finished work will be ready to collect approximately 4–5 weeks later.

 What do I need to bring?

Oxcombe provides aprons, towels etc, but please ensure you wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little messy. Please bring a packed Lunch.

Tea / Coffee and Cookies provided to keep you going.
