Viola Clay Studio is my personal ceramics studio in Camberwell, London, where I offer wheel throwing and hand-building lessons. I have taught ceramics at various studios in Bristol and London for 3 years alongside my own practice of making. Below is some general info and the different workshops I offer :)

- Sliding Scale Pricing Information -
I offer a sliding scale for my workshops to help make ceramics more accessible while keeping my practice sustainable.
You choose the rate that feels right for you:
• Lower rate (75% of base price) – for those with limited disposable income
• Standard rate (100% of base price) – the true cost of the workshop
• Supporter rate (125% of base price) – helps support my studio and makes lower-cost prices possible
