Keeping pottery 'fun'damental!
Hello and welcome! This bit is all about me!
If you're familiar with my previous incarnation as Saz's Ceramics and Crafts you'll possibly be aware of the fact that I had a 'quaint', 'quirky', 'characterful' (customers' words) pottery painting and clay studio at the Red House Glass Cone from 2007-25. My aim was to create a welcoming environment for creativity for people of all ages and abilities. And I was so proud to have a studio at the Red House Glass Cone, which is a very special place indeed.
Last year, however, was time for a change; my partner and I moved house to Bridgnorth in Shropshire and we had a studio built in our garden. I was ready for a change in direction, a chance to focus on creating my own ceramics whilst continuing to offer workshops for small groups. And I love it!
So, if you've never heard of me (no matter) and you've just found me because you're interested in having a go at pottery, welcome, you're in the right place. My name is Sarah Cannings; I love teaching and sharing good practice and am as keen to learn and pass on skills as I was when I started my pottery journey all those years ago.
If you fancy learning how to throw on the Potter's Wheel, hand build or paint an item of bisque ware, please visit my Workshops page and follow the links to the schedule or call me to discuss your requirements.
Welcome to my happy place!

By way of best wishes for the bride to be, we include a complimentary hand painted plate to be signed by all guests. In addition, you may want to chip in to buy your 'Hen' a hen to paint. Saz will write your good luck wishes on the inside of the basket for you.

Fancy a really dirty party?
Yep, you read right; in this 2 hour workshop you'll all get your hands covered in clay, as you'll be taught either a hand building project or you could take it in turns to have a go at throwing a pot on the potter's wheel.
Your creations will be fired and you can book in to paint your items upon collection for a further £5 per pot.
Hot drinks are included in the price of your workshop, but you're welcome to bring a bottle to make your experience all the more fun!
You'll also be making a collaborative friendship bowl for your bride-to-be as a keepsake to remind her of your party. A minimum of 8 is required for this class.
