The Studio

A quiet room, three wheels,
and the patience
of the kiln.

Primavera began in a former print works on the canal, with two secondhand wheels and a borrowed kiln. Today it is a light-filled teaching studio where beginners and returning makers work side by side at the same long bench.

We keep classes small on purpose. There is a rhythm to throwing that can't be rushed — centring, opening, pulling, trimming — and it asks for room. Our clay is reclaimed and re-wedged in-house; our glazes are mixed from raw minerals in the studio's own glaze lab.

No experience is needed to begin. Only a willingness to get your hands dirty and to let the first few pots be honest ones.
