Adults Pottery Classes

Escape the city rush and immerse yourself in the transformative art of clay at Lantau Pottery Studio, Hong Kong's humble destination for pottery classes and workshops. Our specialized adult pottery classes are designed as focused, four-week short courses, meeting once a week for 2.5-hour sessions suitable for adults and teens 15+. Perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike, each workshop series concentrates on a specific technique or project—from foundational wheel throwing, hand building and sculpting to mastering glaze application and finishing. Join us to slow down, cultivate discipline, unlock your creativity, and create professional-quality, lasting pieces in the tranquil beauty of Mui Wo, on Lantau Island. Join our mailing list to get updates on upcoming classes.

Notes on Expectations

  • Patience is Key: The first goal is muscle memory, not perfect pots. Your early pieces are practice, and that's okay!

  • Collection Timeline: The entire process—from throwing the clay to the final glaze firing—takes time. Your finished, food-safe pieces will be ready for collection approximately 3-4 weeks after your final Glazing Session (Lesson 4).

  • Policy: Due to the small class size, we enforce a strict no make-up session policy for missed classes.

  • What to wear: We highly recommend wearing clothing you won't mind getting dirty and closed-toed shoes. We do provide communal aprons to help keep you a little clean. Jewelry such as rings, bracelets, and watches are best left at home. Hair tied up and long nails trimmed are advised for a safe and productive learning experience.

  • ​Become a Studio Member: attended 8 lessons and become eligible to join Members Studio Time and work independently, practice your craft, explore the possibilities without any time constraints.

Slab Build: Templates & Texture | 2-Part Ceramics Workshop in Mui Wo | March 2026

What You’ll Create

Our ceramics classes offer a relaxed, communal atmosphere right here on the Outlying Islands. It’s more than just a pottery class; it’s a chance to slow down, work with your hands, and connect with the local Mui Wo creative community.

You will use cylindrical templates to engineer professional-grade forms, get creative or choosing from:

  • The Islander Mug: A tall, sturdy vessel with slab handle.

  • The Coastal Jug: A functional pitcher with a pouring lip.

  • The Deep Dish: A versatile bowl great for pets or personal use.

​

Part 1: The Build (Structural Design & Stamping)

Master the "Slab & Fold" method. We start by rolling consistent stoneware slabs and impressing them with vintage lace, studio stamps, and found items for textures.

  • Bring Your Own Story: Guests are encouraged to bring sentimental items—heirloom lace, dried botanical leaves, or textured fabrics—to press their own history into the clay.

  • The Assembly: Learn to bevel, score, and slip your cylinder to ensure a seamless, crack-free finish.

Part 2: The Finish (Underglaze & Depth)

After your piece has been bisque-fired, we return to focus on color.

  • The "Wipe-Back" Technique: Learn how to use professional underglazes to highlight the fine details of your lace impressions.

  • Glazing for Function: Apply a food-safe clear glaze that transforms your matte clay into a vibrant, glass-like treasure.
