02STUDIO STORY

A room for
the unfinished.

Clay & Co began with a simple belief: that making something with your hands changes the shape of a day.

Our Yaba studio is a warm, working room for curious people — whether you are touching clay for the first time or looking for a place to deepen your practice. We teach the foundations, then get out of the way.

07FREQUENTLY ASKED

Good to
know.

01Do I need experience?+

Not at all. Our Beginners sessions start with the basics, and we keep groups small so there is plenty of one-to-one guidance.

02What should I wear?+

Anything comfortable that can handle a little clay. Closed shoes and short nails make the wheel easier, but we provide aprons.

03When can I collect my pieces?+

Your pieces are trimmed, glazed and fired after class. We will email you when they are ready, usually within three weeks.

04Can I book a private group?+

Yes — tell us about your group in the enquiry form and we will suggest a format. This demo does not send real enquiries.
