The workshop begins with an introduction to Abi and her brand Athene. Inspired by raw clay, Abi will give you some background about the history of ceramics and working with clay.
Next, it's time to get hands on. You will get to grips with the clay and working on the wheel and Abi will be on hand to give you clear guidance as you hone your technique and start to create your first pieces.
Once you have created a selection of pieces you will be invited to choose your two favourites to be fired and glazed, ready for collection or postage within 4 weeks. A small postage fee maybe be charged on the day.

Meet Abi, a ceramicist based in West London. Abi has been making ceramics for over 10 years after she studied fine art at Chelsea College of Art and in the last 3 years her passion for ceramics went from being a hobby to a business.
Abi is inspired by clay in it's natural form particularly raw clay, she rarely glazes her work and she wants to celebrate the materials themselves.
The workshops that Abi runs are warm and welcoming, she enjoys encouraging people to get creative and relax and her classes are a fun and supportive place to learn something new.
Although working on the wheel can feel intimidating Abi will show you it is actually great fun and anyone can do it!
I loved learning how to throw a pot with Abi. She was so warm and welcoming, and super patient/encouraging. I felt so at ease, which gave me the confidence to stop worrying about getting it wrong and just enjoy the process. Abi has a super studio, conveniently close to the tube. I will definitely go back. Thank you, Abi!
