My studio
My studio is a quiet 4x4m cabin.It has a wheel and space to hand-build (perfect for a 2-person lesson), clay recycling area, water and all the clay, glaze and tools you'll need.Everything is fired in a 320l capacity Skutt kiln on-site.To the front of the studio is a gravel area that's perfect for a small group to hand build or hand-paint their pots.Join me and explore the delight of working with clay for yourself.

Testimonials
"I've had several lessons with Nicole. Not only is she always incredibly patient and an amazing teacher, but she takes time and care to make sure I understand every step of the process of producing a finished item from a wet ball of clay! She is very professional and ensures I have lots of time at the wheel. And if I make a mistake, she will show me a way of turning the mistake into a positive and creative piece of work! I now have several unique and lovely bowls that I have produced under the professional tuition of Nicole. I will definitely be booking in for more lessons and will be buying lessons from her as birthday gifts too!"- Tracey L - Yarnton, Oxon (2023) - One-to-One Lesson
"I had an amazing time with Nicole who is wonderful. She really helped me and was really encouraging."- Iona T - aged 11, Witney, Oxon (2023) - One-to-One Lesson
"My pottery session with Nikki is probably the best thing I’ve done for myself in years. She is not only an inspirational potter and teacher…she is also a genuinely lovely person. With Nikki’s help, I was able to create several pieces that I was really proud of. Thank you for helping me to rediscover my creativity Nikki and for inspiring me to take this up as a hobby. I absolutely love it!"- Kathryn W - Bath, Somerset (2022) - One-to-One Lesson
"I booked a lesson with Nicole after a recommendation from a friend as I needed some me time! It was so chilled out and just what I needed to escape the hustle and bustle of life! Having not done any pottery since school (18 years) Nicole gave me a quick refresher and then let me crack on! She was always on hand with helpful pointers and I made some amazing pots!
15/10 would recommend a session with Nicole! I was so relaxed and chilled out after the lesson and I can’t wait to have another one!"- Alex G - Bampton, Oxon (2023) - One-to-One Lesson
"I booked two sessions for my Dad and I. Nicole was friendly and informative from the start providing clear instructions and guidance. From someone who has never done pottery before I was amazed at what I achieved under Nicole’s direction in a short space of time. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone who has an interest in pottery!"- Pauline S - Oxford (2022) - 2-Person Lesson
