About Deep Blue Ceramics
Deep Blue Ceramics is a community pottery studio in Weston, started by founder Amy after a career in the public service and now run with a team of ceramic artists, teachers and studio assistants. Alongside its courses and memberships, the studio opens its doors to private groups. Private workshops suit birthdays, hens parties, corporate team building and family get-togethers. The session is built around the group, mixing handbuilding, a go on the pottery wheel or pottery painting, so first-timers and keener makers can both join in. No prior experience is expected. The studio supplies aprons, clay, tools and colours, along with step-by-step guidance from the teacher running the session. Clothes that can cope with a little mud are a sensible choice, since working on the wheel and handbuilding both get hands dirty. Once the workshop wraps up, the studio takes care of the slow part. Pieces are left to dry, then glazed and kiln fired on site, and the group is told when everything is ready to collect. Firing generally takes around four weeks, so each guest ends up with a finished piece of handmade pottery well after the day itself. The team also runs kids and teen programs, inclusive classes and specialist workshops with visiting artists. Private groups are planned and quoted directly with the studio.

Frequently asked questions
Does anyone in our group need pottery experience?
No. The private workshops are designed for complete beginners, and a teacher guides everyone through each step, whether the session focuses on handbuilding, the wheel or painting.
What is included in a private pottery workshop?
The studio provides an apron for each guest, all the clay, tools and colours, the glazing and the kiln firing, plus hands-on instruction from one of its ceramic artists throughout the session.
When can we take our pottery home?
Pieces stay at the studio to dry before they are glazed and fired. Allow roughly four weeks, and the studio lets you know when your finished work is ready to pick up from Weston.
What should guests wear to the workshop?
Wear clothes you are happy to get grubby. Aprons are handed out, but clay and glaze can still find their way onto sleeves and trousers, especially on the pottery wheel.
What kinds of celebrations does the studio host?
The studio runs private workshops for birthdays, hens parties, corporate team-building days and family gatherings. Each session is tailored to the group and priced on request with the studio.
