Oxcombe is a creative cultural space for Art and Ceramics to be explored, providing excellent facilities in the beautiful surroundings of the Lincolnshire countryside. Come and discover all there is to offer, meet new people and unlock new skills in new, state of the art studios.
Oxcombe Pottery was established in 2014 when Susanna Gorst converted a disused tractor barn into a ceramic education space. Since then Oxcombe has become a creative hub, with pottery, fine art and a range of other workshops and events taking place all year round. The original studio has been joined by three more barn conversions, offering plenty of space for all our activities, including conferences, team building, exhibitions, artisan markets and open days. Our activities are based in the tranquil historic farmstead, surrounded by mature trees and pasture, as well as the Manor gardens.

Oxcombe Pottery Experience
Pottery Taster Sessions
Duration 3 hours
Price: £60 per person
What's Included?
The Pottery Taster Sessions are designed to give complete beginners an introduction to the medium of clay. Your tutor will guide you through the process of creating a stoneware tile, and various techniques to add texture, and slip decoration. You may also use this technique to create a slab-built soap dish or tea light holder. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to have a go on the potter’s wheel.
You will be able to make 2 pieces (either hand-built or thrown) to be fired. The studio team will glaze and fire these for you and they will be ready to collect from Oxcombe 5 weeks post-workshop. Extra pots and postage are available at an additional cost.
