Welcome to Henfield Pottery.
We're a friendly pottery studio tucked away in the heart of Henfield, West Sussex, where muddy hands, wonky pots and happy accidents are all part of the process.
Whether you're completely new to clay, looking to develop your skills, or searching for a creative space to unwind, you've found the right place.
At Henfield Pottery, we believe pottery should be enjoyable, accessible and just the right amount of messy. There's something incredibly satisfying about turning a lump of clay into something that's uniquely yours, even if it doesn't quite turn out as planned the first time around.
After all, every potter has a shelf of "learning experiences".
Kayleigh holds a First Class BA (Hons) degree in 3D Design and Craft and have years of experience working with ceramics, both through her own practice and producing work commercially for companies and other artists.
Her teaching style is relaxed, supportive and grounded in professional knowledge. Whether you are learning to throw, hand building or developing your own ideas, she want you to enjoy the process, grow in confidence and feel proud of what you make.
