Ways to get your hands dirty

Six wheels, two kilns and a café out front. Whether you're dropping in on a whim or you've thrown for years, here's how it works.

Drop-in wheel sessions

A relaxed two-hour taster on the wheel with a maker on hand — no experience needed, just roll up your sleeves.

Six-week courses

A proper grounding in throwing, trimming and glazing, finishing with your own fired pieces to take home.

Private events for up to 8

Birthdays, hen dos or team afternoons — book the studio, bring your people and we'll handle the clay and the coffee.

Open studio membership

For experienced potters who want regular wheel time and kiln access without the kit cluttering up home.

Why Kettle & Kiln

A studio that actually fires what you make

We're a working café and pottery studio in the heart of Totnes — serious espresso from Extract Roastery up front, six wheels and two kilns out back. Nothing about this is a one-off novelty: we bisque and glaze fire properly, on a regular schedule, so the mug you throw really does come back ready to use.

Our makers have years on the wheel between them and small class sizes mean real attention. Come for the coffee, stay for the clay.
