Pottery at The Long Table
If you'd like to get creative during your stay, you can book a private pottery session in our onsite studio.
These are relaxed, beginner-friendly introductions to clay and can be a lovely addition to a weekend away, romantic getaway or special celebration.
Choose from:
• 2-hour session - $100 per person: hand building • 3-hour session - $130 per person: one pinch pot plus 2 hours learning the wheel
Everything is included, including clay, glazing and kiln firing. I take care of all the finishing work after your session, and each guest can keep up to two finished pieces.
You're welcome to bring along drinks and snacks to enjoy while you create.
Once your pottery is ready, you're welcome to collect it or I can arrange postage for a small additional cost.
If you'd like to add a pottery session to your stay, simply send me a message and I'll do my best to find a time that works for you.
