Create with Clay – Inclusive Pottery Classes
Discover the joy of pottery, where creativity has no limits and everyone is welcome.
At Carantoc, our classes are open to all, including disabled people and those who may need a bit of extra support. Clay is a wonderfully calming, hands-on material, and our sessions offer a relaxed space to unwind, get creative, and enjoy making at your own pace.
We keep things friendly, flexible, and supportive. There’s always encouragement on hand, but no pressure — just the freedom to explore, learn new skills, and enjoy the process. Whether you’re trying pottery for the first time or building on existing skills, we’ll meet you where you are.
Working with clay can help develop coordination, build confidence, and bring a real sense of achievement — but more than anything, it’s about having a good time and creating something that feels uniquely yours.
Come and be part of our welcoming studio community, where everyone’s creativity is celebrated (and no two pots are ever the same!).
Come join us today!
Emma our experienced and DBS checked tutor would be glad to discuss your needs or meet with you. Please get in touch through our contact page.
What our students say about our sessions
My son has been coming to Emma and Penny’s Pottery Studio for sometime now. Both Emma and Penny have made us feel very welcome and relaxed there.
My son has A.D.H.D. and mild learning difficulties but from the very first session he was completely at ease in Emma’s 1 to 1 hand building clay sessions.
Emma is a wonderful teacher with a real understanding of his special needs. She has inspired him to make a number of different items – a hedgehog, a tortoise, a mug, an Ammonite bowl, a cereal bowl and a soup bowl. Emma has taught him all the necessary techniques in hand building and it is a delight to see his enjoyment, the look on his face and the work produced. He looks forward to each weekly session and I can see how much he enjoys it. Deloris
I really enjoy coming to your pottery sessions. It has been great making lots of things with clay – a mug, bowls, and a tortoise. You always explain what to do very carefully so I understand what to do and then I do it.
Emma, you really understand my needs and because of the way you have been teaching me I have found an activity which I feel I am good at and I enjoy doing it.
The highlight of my week is coming to the pottery for my 1 to 1 session with you. I am looking forward to continuing it for some time to come. Thank you. Patrick
