Workshops
The TAUS Ceramic studio offers workshops for all skill levels and ages, providing a welcoming environment for both beginners and experienced potters to explore and refine their craft.
Studio founder Tim Grocott has been in love with the craft of pottery since 2009. His practice was profoundly shaped between 2014 and 2016 while working as an assistant to mould maker Bruce Yallop, formerly of Crown Lynn. Under this mentorship, Tim learned the precise art of mould making and slip casting, a skill that now forms the foundation of his own studio, where he creates his own range of ceramic wares.
