The Ceramic Haven caters for beginners to advanced and holds classes morning and evening during school terms.
Our mission at the Ceramic Haven is for you to Relax in our comfortable studio environment, Create beautiful works and Enjoy the new friendships formed.
The Ceramic Haven studio is modern, clean and spacious. You can relax listening to the music while sipping on your tea or coffee during class. The Ceramic Haven teachers are there to guide and help you every step of the way. You can look through the library of magazines and books to find inspiration and then with the aid of stencils and a photocopier you can trace the design on (draw for the more adventurous). The teachers regularly demonstrate a technique or product so you are always learning new things. Friendship is important at the Ceramic Haven and you will always be greeted with a smile and feel comfortable in any class.
