Umber Works is a neighbourhood gathering place devoted to clay as a material and mindful practice.
Set up and run by artists, our working studio opens for relaxed, small-group classes and clay workshops that support connection, and slow, conscious making.
The studio is often lit by candlelight, with good music, and a calm, intentional atmosphere. Our small gatherings are grounding and unhurried;– somewhere between visiting a friend’s studio and taking part in a shared creative ritual.
ARRIVE. SLOW. CREATE.
The Studio Practice
We specialise in an intimate, accelerated way of learning. With only four wheels in our quiet, intentional neighbourhood studio, our 6-week throwing journeys and Throwing Tasters offer dedicated tuition and ample 1:1 time to find your fluency sooner.
For those seeking a slower pace, our Candlelit Evening Workshops, Slow Forms Masterclasses, and accessible 4-week handbuilding courses are designed for social, relaxed, connection and slow making. Whether you are looking for private wheel throwing guidance or a mindful tableware course, our small-group pottery classes in London are a grounding ritual in your week.
