Get your hands in clay
Relaxed, beginner-friendly pottery workshops and courses in small groups in Darlington. No experience needed - just bring your curiosity.
Hello
Welcome to The Potty Hare
The Potty Hare is a small, friendly pottery studio on the edge of Darlington, County Durham.
It's a welcoming community space where you can slow down, switch off and enjoy making something with your own hands. Come with the kids, meet a friend, enjoy a date, or simply spend a couple of relaxing hours getting creative.
Whether you've never touched clay before or you're ready to get properly hooked, our workshops and courses are relaxed, unhurried and, most importantly, lots of fun.
Workshops
One-off guided projects. Make your piece on your first visit, then come back to glaze it once it has been fired.

Two visits, one piece to treasure
Clay needs time to dry and be fired before it can be glazed, so our project workshops happen over two sessions a few weeks apart.

About me
Hello, I'm Tracy
The Potty Hare is a small, friendly pottery studio with community at its heart. And the name? Well, with a surname like Hare, it seemed like the perfect fit!
I wanted to create a warm, welcoming space where anyone can come along, get stuck into some clay and enjoy making something of their own.
Classes are kept small, there's plenty of help along the way, and absolutely no pressure to be perfect. (In fact, we rather like a wonky pot... they usually have the most character.)
