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? 

https://w3w.co/lobster.rapid.clinking
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 - 

Ford Tearooms & Post Office
Heatherslaw Light Railway
Etal Castle (English Heritage)

Hay Farm Heavy Horse Centre

Flodden Battlefield
Loads of little eateries, pubs and shops etc

"Had a fantastic evening in this taster workshop. It was a great opportunity to try out the skills with loads of support. Lucy was very friendly and approachable allowing you to get the most out of the time. This was a small workshop so plenty of capacity for one on one support. Definitely something I’d try again and maybe even try out the wall hanging session next!" Heather Payne 2020

There&#39;s something here for everyone at every stage of the writing process. Whether you&#39;re working on your first draft, or preparing to query or self-publish, Vicky&#39;s practical and fun workshops will help you through the process with good humour and realistic advice.All workshops are an hour and a half long, starting at 6 p.m. BST. Workshops are &pound;15 individually, or &pound;50 to attend all four. Devastating Dialogue -- 18th OctoberThis workshop will cover the nuts and bolts of writing dialogue. Starting with punctuating correctly (one of the most frequent errors I encounter as an editor), we will then move on to finding your characters&#39; voice, making dialogue sound natural, and dos and don&#39;ts for handling accents and dialects. This workshop is great for any fiction writers or anyone who frequently uses dialogue in their writing. Five Top Editing Blunders -- 20th OctoberIn this workshop, Vicky will take you through the top five most frequent blunders she encounters as an editor, and how to fix them quickly and efficiently. This session will include tips for revising your own work, and making re-reads more effective to help you improve your own manuscript. This workshop is great for writers of fiction or non-fiction -- everyone should get something out of this session. The Uncanny and How to Use It -- 25th OctoberThe uncanny, or unheimlich, was first coined by Sigmund Freud, but it has taken quite the journey since 1919. This workshop charts the origins of the uncanny, the ways in which the theory has developed, and how it is applicable to the world we live in now and our near-future. From looking in the mirror and seeing an unfamiliar reflection, to androids who look nearly but not quite human, the uncanny is everywhere in fiction. This workshop shows you how to use the theory effectively in your writing, and is suitable for writers of fiction -- particularly stories with a creepy or speculative slant. Collaborative Storytelling -- 27th OctoberWriting can be a very isolating experience but becomes so much easier when we include others. In this session, Vicky explores several ways in which writers can involve others -- from critique partners and beta readers, to collaborative and team writing, to tabletop gaming and roleplay -- to ignite the creative juices, clear blocks, and solve plot holes. This session is suitable for writers of fiction or non-fiction but will lean towards fiction.

This month's workshops cover a number of diverse topics and can be booked individually or as a group.
Join Vicky Brewster, editor, writer, and academic, for a series of workshops on a variety of creative writing subjects. There's something here for everyone at every stage of the writing process. Whether you're working on your first draft, or preparing to query or self-publish, Vicky's practical and fun workshops will help you through the process with good humour and realistic advice.
All workshops are an hour and a half long, starting at 6 p.m. BST. Workshops are £15 individually, or £50 to attend all four.
