Parkside Pottery

Parkside Pottery runs from a garden studio at Park Close in Portslade, set up by Emma, who trained originally as a textile designer. The studio teaches pottery making over six-week courses alongside shorter taster workshops covering wheel throwing and hand building, plus a pottery-painting option for visitors who want to glaze ready-made ceramics rather than shape their own. An after-school club runs for children in school years five and six, and the studio also hosts private lessons, birthday sessions and corporate team-building visits. Classes are kept in small groups, with the tree-lined garden setting used as a quiet counterpoint to the working space indoors. Bookings run through the studio's own site rather than a marketplace platform.
