About Us

Edinburgh Pottery Lessons was created to make pottery classes in Edinburgh fun, welcoming, and creatively inspiring.

Our mission is simple: to provide high-quality ceramics lessons in Edinburgh in a supportive, friendly studio where anyone can learn.

Our Story

EPL was founded by practicing potters and ceramic artists with the goal of creating a dedicated space for learning wheel throwing and ceramics in Edinburgh.

We saw a growing demand for beginner-friendly pottery classes that prioritise small groups and personalised guidance, so we assembled our team of experienced teachers and got to work!

The Studio

We are fortunate to use one of Edinburgh’s most popular pottery studios – John Burgess Ceramics - to host our classes.

We keep class sizes small to ensure every student receives individual guidance.

The studio is equipped with:

  • Professional pottery wheels

  • Hand-building stations

  • Kiln firing facilities

  • High-quality clay and glazes

Whether you're trying pottery for the first time or developing your technique, we’re here to help you grow.
