Clay as therapy: how Pinch Pot Café helps you reconnect ☕️🧘🏻✨️⁠
⁠⁠
This autumn, we're placing a spotlight on the therapeutic qualities of clay - and how our workshops offer more than just creative time. They’re small rituals of calm in an otherwise busy world.⁠

In our Autumn Pinch Pot Café sessions, we invite you to slow down and experience clay as a way to recentre. No pressure, no perfection - just the grounding feel of clay in your hands, warm lighting, and a hot chocolate to ease you into the evening.⁠

As the seasons shift and we begin to prepare our homes for a cosy, hygge-filled autumn, these sessions become a beautiful blend of creativity and comfort. Whether you're making a tealight holder, a salt dish, or a tiny bud vase - it's less about the outcome, and more about the process of making with intention.⁠

✨ It’s mindful, it’s tactile, it’s soothing - and you’ll leave with something handmade to bring warmth into your space this season.⁠

There’s something so special about coiling by hand - no wheel, no pressure - just you, the clay, and whatever your imagination decides to build.⁠

Freeform coiling is expressive, grounding, and deeply creative. Whether you're sculpting bold vases, stacked pebbles or gentle abstract shapes, this technique invites you to slow down and tune in.⁠

We’ve just published a blog diving into this beautiful practice and how it inspires our latest workshop series with Sian Van Driel.⁠

Curious about coiling? ✨ ⁠

What an amazing Day of Clay! 💫⁠

“The small group created such a relaxed, personal atmosphere - almost like having a creative retreat. I loved that it wasn’t just about following along, but about getting stuck in, experimenting, and even laughing at the bits that didn’t quite work. That freedom to play made the successes feel even more rewarding. I came away not only with something I’d made myself, but also with a big smile and some brilliant memories. If you’re looking for a unique, hands-on experience that’s both creative and fun, this is absolutely it.” 💛⁠

We loved this glowing review of our signature pottery experience - a full-day retreat into creativity, where you can get stuck in, experiment, laugh at the wobbly bits, and come away with something you made yourself (plus a big smile and some brilliant memories).⁠

Swipe to see what Thomas made in class!⁠

Whether you're a total beginner or just looking for a mindful day out, Day of Clay is a beautiful way to reconnect with your creative side.⁠

The return of cosy TV = creative season is officially ON! ✨⁠

There’s something in the air this time of year… the leaves start turning, the evenings draw in, and suddenly, we all want to stay in, get creative, and make something with our hands.⁠

This autumn, some of our favourite feel-good shows are back to fuel that cosy, crafty energy:⁠

🍰 Great British Bake Off is underway - proof that flour and clay aren’t all that different! It’s all about texture, patience, and a little bit of messy magic.⁠

🎨 With Love, Meghan S2 is currently streaming on Netflix too - serving up a blend of DIY, food and creativity that has us itching to get back on the wheel or into the clay studio - Meghan even tries her hand at throwing pots!⁠

At Chisel, we’re leaning into the season with workshops that are all about creativity, comfort, and slowing down:⁠

🍂 Autumn Pinch Pot Café - Our signature slow-evening sessions, with hot chocolate, soft lighting, and tactile clay.⁠
🥣 Breakfast Set Workshop (Oct 4th) - Craft your very own mug + bowl using slip-casting techniques - so you can serve up your porridge or tea in something you made.⁠
🍃 Leaf-Impressed Plates (SOLD OUT) - A calming Saturday session where you’ll create a set of three nature-inspired plates.⁠
🌀 Day of Clay & Throwing Tasters - For when you want to try your hand at the wheel - no experience needed.⁠

Whether you're inspired by Bake Off or just craving a calm space to be creative this season, we’ve got you...⁠

From centring clay to glazing with intention, every step of the process invites you to slow down, get hands-on, and reconnect with your creative side.⁠

In our latest blog, we’re exploring why pottery is the perfect mindful hobby - and how even just one class a week can make a meaningful difference to your wellbeing.⁠

🌿 Less hustle, more grounding⁠
👐 Less perfectionism, more play⁠
🎨 Less scrolling, more making⁠
