par duoL'atelier en détail
This workshop is designed for two and is the perfect introduction to ceramics to share with you friend or as a couple.
Violaine will start by introducing herself and sharing her journey from graphic design to ceramics, giving you an idea of her background and expertise.
The workshop will begin with Violaine demonstrating the pottery making process, from raw clay to the finished pot. She'll show you how to use the pottery wheel step by step, breaking the process down into easy to follow instructions.
Each participant will have their own pottery wheel to work on, ensuring a personalized experience. Whether you're new to pottery or have some experience, Violaine will guide you through the process.
Once you've created your pottery, you can choose which piece to have fired. Violaine also offers the possibility of firing one additional piece for £5.
If necessary, Violaine will give the bottom of your pot a basic trim, to eliminate any excess clay.
After the first firing, Violaine will glaze your pot with a transparent or white glaze, before firing again at high temperature.
Your finished pottery will be ready for collection within 4-6 weeks. Look out for a confirmation email to let you know when it's time to collect your creations.
Whether you're looking to learn a new skill or just relax and get creative, Violaine's workshop offers a welcoming environment for all!
Lieu de l'atelier
The studio is easily accessible by public transport. For ‘on the go’ workshops, the workshop can be organised at the location of your choice within the artisan's approved radius.

Informations pratiques
Please bring an apron, clothes you don't mind getting dirty, and trim your nails as long nails can get in the way (also bring a hair tie for throwing sessions).
Due to limited storage space at the studio, Violaine can only keep your pots for an extra 4 weeks from the day your pot is available for collection. Uncollected pots will be donated to charity.

Ceramicist
Meet Violaine, a skilled ceramic artist based in Shoreditch. Violaine discovered her love for working with clay in 2018, after attending a wheel-throwing workshop. She practiced consistently, selling her creations, and fell in love with the craft. So much so that she left her career as a freelance graphic designer, to pursue her ceramics business full-time.
You can see influences from Violaine's French background in her chic ceramic style. While continuing to explore new techniques, recently focusing on sgraffito surface pattern, and slab work, this sophisticated and clean look runs through her collections.
With over three years of teaching experience at a London pottery school, Violaine now invites enthusiasts to visit her in her studio where you will be truly immersed in an artist's space. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate, Violaine offers a supportive environment to learn and create your own ceramics from scratch.
Experience the joy of working with clay under Violaine's guidance, and express your creativity!

Violaine has a lovely energy about her and is incredibly patient. She adjusts both her language and pace to your level of experience, and she lets you try and retry (and retry, and retry) until you get it! It was a lovely studio and a fun experience. Thanks Violaine.

Amazing experience! Violaine was a fantastic guide, offering constant encouragement throughout the entire process of throwing our pots. We participated in the 2-person class, and from start to finish, we felt completely comfortable and well-supported. It was a much more personalised and valuable experience compared to larger group sessions we've attended elsewhere, as Violaine was able to guide us at our own pace. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend this class to anyone. 5/5!
