COVID-19 update: Return of Turning Earth courses

Ongoing classes at Turning Earth Hoxton are now resuming with social distancing measures in place and will take place in the main studio when closed to members. We are ensuring a minimum of 1m social distance at all times, with 2m wherever possible, as well as thorough sanitation procedures. All students are required to bring and wear a mask or visor at all times, and to wash their hands regularly throughout their time with us.

We are shortly to announce a new, beautiful and convenient location for our Hoxton classes, which will enable us to offer socially distanced classes long term, minimising disruption to courses in the event of changes to government measures in the coming months. Classes at our new teaching studio will resume from September, so please join our email list (please scroll to the bottom of the page and you can easily do this) and listen out for announcements on this.

Please note: Turning Earth Hoxton classes sell out extremely quickly (often within minutes), particularly those held in the evenings. Due to our high number of subscribers and the comparatively small size of our team, we don't have the resources to manage an advance waiting list. Instead, we now list the date and time that each course goes online as soon as we have scheduled it so that you can set a reminder to come back and book. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to welcoming you into the studio soon.

Upcoming ceramics courses at Turning Earth Hoxton

When we have classes available they will be displayed below and you can book online. Unfortunately due to high levels of demand, we are unable to take pre-bookings or sign-ups over the phone or by email. The next courses to be listed can be found lower down the page, along with the date and time when they will be available to book.

Please stay tuned for online ceramics courses, which we will shortly be offering for people who want to learn a new skill while in isolation.

About Turning Earth's ceramics classes

Our courses run all year round and each one is taught by an experienced Turning Earth artist. Each class has only 12 students to a teacher so you can expect plenty of individual attention. Classes cover both hand-building techniques and wheel throwing and are available for anyone ages 16 or older. Tuition fees are £305 for a 12 week standard class, and each session is 2.5 hours long. When your work is ready to be fired, there’ll be a small charge of £3.60 per kg for materials. Courses are non-refundable once in progress.

We also offer a 3-hour throwing class over 12 weeks on a Monday in our main studio area. The fee for the throwing class is £365 for 12 weeks (3 hours each class). There are 15 students and two teachers, so you can expect plenty of individual attention.

We also offer courses in our new site in E10, a beautiful ceramics retreat hidden in the Argall Avenue industrial estate in Leyton, near Lea Bridge Road station. We have a separate dedicated classroom in the Leyton studio, and so we are able offer a greater variety of courses there; if you can't find something suitable in Hoxton there may be a course online at Argall Avenue that would suit you.

You can also sign up for a week-long Turning Earth Intensive at the Leyton studio if you prefer to put aside a block of time to learn rather than attending a weekly class.
