Clay, creativity
and community.
Nestled in the Cheshire countryside near Nantwich, Clayways is a friendly ceramics studio where creativity, community and wellbeing come together. Whether you are looking for pottery classes, wheel throwing lessons, handbuilding workshops or simply a peaceful place to escape the pressures of everyday life, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting for you.
Our studio has been designed for complete beginners, returning potters and experienced makers alike. You do not need any artistic experience to join us.
All you need is curiosity and a willingness to have a go. We believe everyone can enjoy working with clay and create something they are proud of.
At Clayways, we believe everyone has a creative spark sometimes it just needs a bit of clay to bring it out!
We’re a small but passionate team of potters and teachers, and nothing makes us happier than seeing people smile as they discover the joy of making. Our studio is a relaxed, friendly space where learning from our mistakes are part of the fun. Check out some of our student pots and see what they’ve been creating.
