Baltic Clay

What it’s like

Hand build a mug or tea light holder from clay and decorate it with coloured slips, for over-14s and adults only.

This is a studio for over-14s, so no younger kids here, but it's a solid shout for a teenager who's into art, or for the adults taking them. You work with your hands rather than a wheel, building a mug or a tea light holder from clay and then decorating it with coloured slips. It's slower and messier than it sounds, in a good way.

Taster sessions run 2pm to 5pm and are listed as free on their site, so it looks like you can turn up and have a go without paying for the privilege of finding out if you like it. If you catch the bug, the beginner's classes are the next step up: an 8 week block running 6pm to 8pm for £285, which is a proper commitment both in time and money.

There's no booking link listed, so getting in touch directly is the way to sort a place on either the taster or the course. Three hours for a taster is a decent stretch of an afternoon, and the evening class slot suggests it's aimed at people who can commit to a couple of hours after work or school, week after week.
