Learn, create, and connect through clay
I believe pottery should feel as soothing as a warm mug between your hands. That’s why every class is small, guidance is clear and helpful, and every kiln firing is carefully managed so your work leaves the studio as close to how you imagined as possible.
Whether you’re brand new to clay or looking to refine your technique, I guide you step by step. Together, we can turn a simple lump of earth into something beautiful and useful, or just fun, because handmade should feel human.

"Had the best morning at Fireweed Pottery's workshop with Kaira. From the warm welcome to the patient guidance, I was totally at ease as a beginner. I didn’t think I'd create something usable, but Kaira showed me how. Lovely space, lovely host - would def recommend."
— Former Customer (Review on Facebook)"It was such a lovely way to spend a morning - so relaxing and therapeutic. Kaira is a great teacher and explains everything throughly. She is very welcoming and her workshop is wonderful place to be. I’d highly recommend her sessions." 👍
— Former Customer (Facebook)“What a great family afternoon. We all had a go at various pottery techniques. We all produced useful, functional pots including a mug each! Time flew by so quickly. Well have to go back again. Thoroughly enjoyed by kids and adults alike and Kaira is so lovely and patient. Give it a try!”
