Northumberland is the Land of Castles - so why not come build your own!
Our beautiful studio is just five minutes walk from Ford Castle, and as Northumberland is an ancient landscape peppered with castles and towers of all shapes and sizes, inspiration for your own ceramic fortifications isn't hard to find!

Ford Castle - just five minutes from the studio!

This hand-building pottery session has been designed for the young and un-young, but will require focus and concentration! You will create a castle tower using the slab-building method before adding windows, arrow slits, roofs, draw-bridges, portcullises, chimneys etc (basically whatever you fancy) in just two hours! Although simple in principle, it will involve all your creativity - but first you'll have to decide whether your castle is the setting for a medieval siege or a fairy tale! The basic method will be outlined at the start, and then it's up to you to create your castle! Once finished, your castle will stay at the studio to be fired, dip-glazed and then re-fired. If you have added windows or other openings they would make beautiful tea light holders. [But we recommend battery powered tea lights or fairly lights at the towers will get very hot with a candle in...]

These two towers have more of the fairy -tale about them...

There are only six places per session - this allows enough access to support for everyone to be successful! As this is a creative class designed to be accessible to all including younger potters, we must insist that a parent or guardian attends with any participant aged 16 or under. The numbers are limited to avoid over-crowding in the workshop. Each ticket books a maker's-seat at the pottery table. If you are going to attend as a (free) spectator, please make a note of this at the time of booking.

These two examples feel more military - one being menaced by a giant squid, the other with it's draw-bridge lowered...

If you book a place for a young person and feel they will need help in creating their castle, please come along and help them (as a non-paying spectator). Even with only six people booked in a session, it can be difficult to support everyone in the way they need. Again, please note this at the time of booking.

The ticket price covers all tuition, tools, firings and glaze for one castle tower. Please note that these pots will be glazed in just one colour - dip-glazed as you request. 

A word of warning - the kiln Gods can be fickle, and despite doing everything possible, some pieces will fail, crack or blow up (!) in the kiln. There are no guarantees in pottery, not even for seasoned potters. A second word of warning - working with pottery can be hugely addictive. You have been warned!

The New Ford Studio is housed on the ground floor of the old Reading Rooms - you will find it just up the road from Lady Waterford Hall. Nearby are many attractions and places to walk, shop and eat; how about a near by Narrow-guage Railway (that runs to Etal Castle and back), a working flour mill, a Village Shop & Tearoom, a heavy horse centre, a micro-brewery, or a Riverside cafe? 

Please note - access to the studio is only via a set of external stone steps, and there is a single toilet available on site. The booking cost (£30.00) secures a spot at the maker's table; if you need to stay to support a younger participant, please make sure you have noted this when you book your ticket!

If you need your work posting out to you or someone else, please ensure you book an additional postage and packing ticket!
And finally - There is ample free parking at Ford, at Heatherslaw and at Etal. Ravn Clay sits at the heart of the Estate, which also offers camping, glamping, B&Bs and guests houses. And there’s plenty more to do and see while you are here -

<h1 id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Cosmos Connections and Contemplations</h1>When was the last time you looked up at the night sky with wide-eyed curiosity, appreciating the magic and awe of the stars? The practice of mindful stargazing is about immersing yourself in the experience of the night time and developing a first-hand, experiential knowledge of what it is not to look out at the Universe, but to &lsquo;be&rsquo; in this vast Universe of ours. During the evening we&rsquo;ll be exploring a variety of mindful stargazing practices, focussing on contemplating our place within the cosmos and our connections to it &ndash; scientifically, energetically and spiritually.&nbsp;Before going outside, we&rsquo;ll practice a cosmic body scan, sensing different parts of our body and how they&rsquo;re made of stuff that was produced in stars billions of years ago. Then as we go outdoors, we&rsquo;ll spend some time immersing ourselves in the experience of the night sky as it is (clear or cloudy), and explore how we can feel part of the cosmos, at home in this vast universe of ours. We&rsquo;ll finish by contemplating some amazing images of space and exploring some of the myths and stories associated with the constellations.Hearty supper and hot drinks included.Note the event will go ahead whatever the weather.<h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">About Mark</h2>

Zen Buddhist teacher.<h2 id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Testimonials </h2>The stargazing event with Mark was absolutely wonderful. The setting, the format, the food and the knowledge that Mark has totally filled my heat and heart with joy, light and awe. &nbsp;I cannot recommend this evening enough. &nbsp;If you just want to find out more of what is up there when we look up; but also find yourself totally grounded to the here and now, then this is the evening of for you. &nbsp;Mark is an absolute wonder. &nbsp;I will keep looking up Mark and dream of floating in the cosmos whilst kissing the earth with every step. &nbsp;Thank you. &ndash;&nbsp;Karen&nbsp;(Nov 22) It was a deeply connecting, experiential, immersive and overall delightful event - surprisingly undiminished by the rain and cloud cover! Tokes Farm, Dorset was a perfect venue. You have such a gift for creating a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. The way you brought together your astronomical knowledge, Zen training, yoga and chi gong teaching was and is, a great blessing. My senses were heightened and I felt relaxed, energised and engaged throughout the evening. I felt as though I had travelled to the outer reaches of the universe and back. It was a very enriching, unique opportunity and evening. Thank you!! &ndash; Gail (Nov 22) What a thought provoking and stimulating occasion it was. I felt privileged to have had the opportunity to share that time with everyone and your guidance to reset our perspective in every way. &ndash;&nbsp;Paul and Rosalie (Feb 23)

Stoneware Pottery Monster Workshop in Northumberland
This monstrous pottery class, now in its fourth year, designed for all ages, will see you create a plant pot using the slab-building technique in just ninety minutes! Although simple in principle, it will involve giving your monster character and personality, so lots of imagination will be needed to create your Frankenstein Pot! The basic method will be demonstrated at the start, and then it's up to you to create your pot! Once finished, your monster will stay at the studio to be fired, glazed and then re-fired. Then it's up to you to plant and nurture your monster pot - and grow something that matches the personality that has emerged - or use it for pens, brushes, whatever...
There are only eight places per session - this allows enough access to support for everyone to be successful! As this is a creative class designed to be accessible to all including younger potters, we must insist that a parent or guardian attends with any participant aged 16 or under. The numbers are limited to avoid over-crowding in the workshop. Each ticket books a maker's-seat at the pottery table. If you are going to have to attend as a (free) specator, please make a note of this at the time of booking. 
If you book a place for a young person and feel they will need help in creating their monster, please come along and help them (as a non-paying spectator). Even with only eight people booked in a session, it can be difficult to support everyone in the way they need. Again, please note this at the time of booking.
