T&Cs

Welcome to the homeware series! Join local ceramicist Hannah Way in our Ceramics Studio to make pieces for the home.

Shape clay into something both beautiful and practical in this hands-on ceramic bookends workshop. Designed for beginners and experienced makers alike, this session will guide you through the process of hand-building balanced bookends that reflect your personal style.

You’ll learn essential techniques such as slab construction, joining methods, and surface decoration, while exploring how form and weight work together to create functional objects. Whether you prefer clean, minimalist shapes or more expressive, sculptural forms, you’ll have the freedom to experiment and bring your ideas to life.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have crafted a unique pair of bookends perfect for adding a handmade touch to your bookcase. Your pieces will be glazed and fired by our technician, ready for collection within three weeks.

If you really enjoy the workshop, and want to explore your passion for ceramics further, there’s the option to join as a ceramics member – find out more about ceramics membership here!

Booking Terms & Conditions

Workshop and course bookings can be cancelled and refunded (less a 10% administration fee) up until 7 days before the scheduled start date. Our workshops support the work we do as a charity, and because materials and equipment are ordered in advance, we regret that refunds cannot be offered less than 7 days before the workshop date.

Bookings cannot be transferred between courses however bookings can be transferred to another person in the event that you are unable to attend on the day. In the event that The Art House needs to cancel a workshop for any reason, for example due to tutor illness, your ticket will be refunded in full.
