Creative pottery sessions
Paint, glaze or hand-build with us
Marta’s workshops are small, hands-on sessions at the Fabode studio in Edinburgh. Some pieces are made across more than one visit: the first session is for building the clay form, and a separate decorating session is arranged where needed.
Each session is beginner-friendly, with materials, tools and aprons provided. Finished pieces are dried, fired and prepared for collection after the studio work is complete.
