Stoneware Pottery Workshop in Northumberland
Enhance your experience in Northumberland with a visit to the stunning Ford & Etal Estate, where you can  enjoy a hands-on workshop at Ravn Clay Pottery. In 2025, we're excited to introduce full pottery days for the first time—offering an even more immersive creative experience! And, in conjunction with the Village Post Office and Coffee Shop, we will also provide you with lunch!

Pottery is one of the oldest crafts in human history and continues to thrive as both an art form and cultural tradition worldwide. From clay types and shaping techniques to glazing and firing methods, every step offers endless possibilities for creativity and discovery. It’s a truly engaging and rewarding process—one where there’s always something new to learn.

This whole-day workshop, open to everyone, offers you plenty of time to create your own pottery pieces using stoneware clay. Hand-building, often overshadowed by wheel throwing, is a fantastic way to explore working with clay—perfect for beginners and creative minds alike.

The session begins at 9.30am with a brief introduction to studio safety and key techniques before giving you plenty of time to bring your ideas to life. Whether it’s a vase, mug, candle holder, or sculpture—if you can imagine it, we’ll work together to make it happen! The whole day format means you will be able to create more considered work, explore more decorative techniques and try different hand-building methods.

Lunch at 12.30pm will be a chance to recharge and reflect. You'll be hosted by Doug and Rachel just over the road at the Village Post Office and Coffee Shop, before returning to continue in the studio. If you have any specific dietary needs please make sure we know about them before the day of your workshop. 

After the workshop, your pieces will stay in the studio to be dried, fired, glazed, and re-fired. Once they're ready, you can collect them in person or have them posted to you. The full process can take up to a month, so we appreciate your patience. But what better way to create lasting memories, craft special gifts, and have unique reminders of your time in the studio?

For this workshop there is no set agenda - if you bring the enthusiasm and imagination, we will provide all the materials and tools needed to create  unique, bespoke and wonderful things!

The number of participants for each workshop is limited to six, to allow equal access to support, tools and tuition. 

ALSO - We are now able to offer you the chance to return to the studio to glaze your work! If you are interested in seeing more of the ceramic process, or have created pots that would look even more awesome if they could be other than a single colour, you can now return once your work has been biscuit fired to glaze your pots. This shouldn't take more than a couple of hours, and incurs a small additional charge (£10) which you can either book now, or when you come to the studio on the day of your workshop. We can of course talk through the various options on the day - but the opportunity is there!

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 in 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?

TD15 2QG

Please note - access to the studio is only via a set of external stone steps, and there is a single toilet available on site.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE - our workshops are competitively priced to be affordable and inclusive, and the fee covers all materials, tuition, glaze and firings. This is based on a fair-useage policy of participants making up to two mug-sized pieces (or equivalent) during a session, alongside their starter thumb pot. 

If you are a prolific producer of pottery, there will be an additional charge that we can negotiate (but will be at least £5 per piece). 
This is because of increased quanitites of materials, glaze, more space needed in the kiln and additional time required to complete the final pieces.

And finally - There is ample free parking in Ford and the studio is just up the road from Lady Waterford Hall. 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 -

Prior to her time at BLM, she was managing editor for a transcontinental literary consultancy, and later transferred into freelance editorial work where she worked closely with a number of agents and their clients. Recently, she has begun slowly building a small, selective list focused on adult literary fiction.Julie is drawn to uncommon voices and striking, intelligent writing&mdash;whether it be vibrant and floral or tense, quick, and sparse&mdash;as well as texture in both tone and setting, and she loves anything spiky, toothy, and dark. While the literary-speculative is her sweet spot, she considers herself genre agnostic within literary fiction, and remains open to compelling and well-executed genre overlap, such as with historical fiction (including and indeed encouraging alternate history) and gothic fiction (specifically regional gothic), as well as literary science fiction, western, magical realism, horror, dark academia, and low fantasy, all with a basis in the real/human world. Stylistically, she loves uncommon, thought-provoking experimentation with both prose and form.Folkloric and mythological retellings are a special favourite, particularly when approached from a fresh, imaginative perspective; she&rsquo;d also love to see a sharp, literary story exploring humanity&rsquo;s relationship to technology in the vein of&nbsp;Black Mirror. Likewise, a New Weird story exploring the effects of climate change on humanity and society, in the vein of Jeff VanderMeer or China Mi&eacute;ville, would not go remiss; she&rsquo;s also keen to see dark, literary westerns reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy&rsquo;s oeuvre.&nbsp;On rare occasion, a moody psychological suspense story, where a heady sense of atmosphere reigns, is welcome. Also, more terrible women please. (Please do bear in mind that, despite a deep and abiding love for all things Tolkien and Star Wars, she is&nbsp;not&nbsp;the right fit for epic or high fantasy, nor space-faring science fiction. She would also prefer to avoid pulpy crime and romance/romcoms.)She is keenly interested in hearing from authors traditionally underrepresented in the industry, including but not restricted to writers of colour; queer, trans, and nonbinary writers; working class writers; disabled writers; etc. In non-fiction, Julie is keen to read in the narrative and &ldquo;big ideas&rdquo; spaces, particularly in the realms of politics, history, and the social sciences.Julie is not looking for young adult, middle grade, and children&rsquo;s books.Julie would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(In addition to the paid sessions, Julie is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION

Julie Gourinchas (she/they) is developing a selective list focused on upmarket and literary adult fiction across a wide variety of genres. Writers she represents have been nominated for the British Book Awards, the Hugo Awards, the BSFA Awards, and the Saltire National Book Awards, among others.

In fiction, she's drawn to a uncommon voices, and striking, intelligent writing – whether vibrant and floral or tense, quick, and sparse – as well as texture in both tone and setting (particularly anything with a strong aesthetic). Above all, she is looking for hooky, high-concept work, but her taste can perhaps be best summarised as "the weird, dark, and gruesome." 

While literary-speculative is her sweet spot, she considers herself genre agnostic within upmarket/literary fiction, and remains open to compelling and well-executed genre overlap. These include:

upmarket and literary horror: especially featuring feminist or cultural themes, body horror, mangled nature, or cosmic, Lovecraftian vibes and looking for a fresh, literary take on vampires. Think Mona Awad, Lucy Rose, Julia Armfield, Jade Song, Stephen Graham Jones.
dark and spiky literary dramas with high emotional stakes - think Eliza Clark, Julia May Jonas.
razor-sharp dark academia particularly with something to say about the complex and exploitative systems within academia, more The Secret History, less The Atlas Six.
gothic fiction, specifically regional gothic anchored in an evocative sense of place in the vein of Alexis Henderson and Alix E. Harrow.
grounded fantasy or otherwise speculative fiction with coherent, sharp worldbuilding that feels recognisable and familiar, or directly set in our world. Play with magic, faith, and technology in your story like Babel, or a more literary version like Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, Blood Over Bright Haven, Metal From Heaven.
Searing contemporary fiction centred on themes of identity and belonging: think Sally Rooney, Torrey Peters, or what Saltburn should have been.
dark westerns, in particular any that play with the truth and false hopes of the American Dream.
magical realism both whimsy with a touch of darkness, and darkness with a touch of whimsy.
unhappy romances
anything -punk:
steampunk, solarpunk, silkpunk, clockpunk, dieselpunk, cyberpunk and more of these! Suffice to say: if you can successfully and smartly comp to Arcane, Julie wants to see it!
character-focused historical fiction with a literary edge: think Lauren Groff, Anthony Doerr, Eleanor Catton, particularly in the 19th and 20th centuries; including and indeed encouraging alternate history.

Stylistically, Julie loves uncommon, thought-provoking experimentation with both prose and form, and anything spiky, toothy, and dark. Happy endings, to her, should feel earned. In all things, compelling character development should come first. First person narration is not impossible, but hard to sell. A smart genre blend is always welcome, as is any fresh-eyed approach to a well-trodden trope. Julie is also very much looking for her first romantasy – especially one that approaches this exciting new genre from a fresh, bold perspective.
 
She is keenly interested in hearing from authors traditionally underrepresented in the industry, including but not restricted to writers of colour; queer, trans, and nonbinary writers; working class writers; disabled writers; etc. 

Her enduring favourite books include All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr, Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien, The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton, and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials series. More recent favourites include the masterful Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Babel by R.F. Kuang, Detransition Baby by Torrey Peters, Matrix by Lauren Groff, Tell Me I’m Worthless by Alison Rumfitt, Brother Alive by Zain Khalid, and Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield.

In non-fiction, Julie is keen to read in the narrative and “big ideas” spaces, particularly in the realms of politics, history, and the social sciences.

Please note: Julie is not looking for young adult, middle grade, and children’s books. Strictly no AI-generated content of any description. Please also bear in mind that, despite a deep and abiding love for all things Tolkien and Star Wars, she is not typically the right fit for epic or high fantasy, nor space-faring science fiction. She would also prefer to avoid pulpy crime and straightforward romance/romcoms.

Julie would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. 

(In addition to the paid sessions, Julie is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 

By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event.
