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!
Paint Pottery & Sip
Join us at our next Paint Pottery & Sip Night or Themed Event!
If you've not yet been to one of our adult evenings you're in for a treat! We've got together with the lovely people running our local fave pubs to bring the best of both worlds; purchase your favourite alcoholic drink or soft drinks from the bar, meet your friends, (or make some new ones!) and get ready to sip, paint, and have a great relaxing evening whilst creating a lasting memento!
So, how does it work? Simply book your place by following the link here to the workshop schedule, choose any of the items from the selection Saz provides for the evening, follow her simple instructions on how to apply the glazes and make something marvellous! She'll take your masterpiece back to the studio, fire your work in the kiln and it'll be ready for collection in 7-10 days.
If you can't make it for one of our hosted events, why not host your own 'sip & paint pottery' evening in the privacy of your own home? That way you can do the workshop in your loungewear, enjoy a cocktail (or two maybe?) and carry on the party as long as you like! Hire one of our 'take away' kits, select and pay for the pottery you want to paint then just return the kit after you've painted your items for glazing and firing.
If ordering a take away kit, please email us to book and select your pottery and make sure you call us on 07966514766 to arrange your kit collection date and time.
You're also welcome to book a private pottery painting evening at the studio subject for groups of 8 or more. Contact us to check availability.
