About The Kilnhouse
What makes this a great fit for your hen weekend
The Kilnhouse in Nottingham runs pottery events of around three hours, typically from 1:30pm to 4:30pm. an afternoon of clay in the city. Three hours at the pottery studio is the perfect hen afternoon: hands in clay, conversation flowing, and a fired piece to collect as the weekend's most wholesome souvenir.
Afternoon sessions leave mornings lazy and evenings free. Pottery suits every hen. no experience needed, and the results range from genuinely lovely to gloriously wonky (both are treasured).
For Nottingham hens after a creative, calming afternoon, The Kilnhouse fires up a lovely time.
What this experience offers
Frequently asked questions
What pottery events do you run?
Playful, social ceramics across Nottingham with Heather and Emma, two ceramicist best friends on a mission to make clay accessible: monthly Pots and Pints socials (themed sculpting nights like Pumpkins, Ghosties and Christmas Trees at venues such as Rough Trade Nottingham, 5 Broad Street NG1 3AJ - your first drink is on us, with silly games, music and full step-by-step guidance) plus hands-on workshops in throwing and hand-building.
Can we book a private hen party?
Yes - private sessions for hen dos, birthdays and get-togethers at venues across Nottingham: email thekilnhousenottm@gmail.com with your date, guest numbers and location and we will build your mucky celebration. Private pricing is quoted per event.
What does it cost?
Ticket prices are shown for each dated event on our ticket page; if you love your creation, professional firing and glazing is an optional £4-£5 depending on design, ready to collect from the venue afterwards.
Do we need pottery experience?
None at all - sessions are designed for first-timers and dabblers alike; you will pinch, sculpt and slab your way to a one-of-a-kind piece and probably some muddy new pals.
Where do events happen?
We are a Nottingham-based ceramics community without a single fixed studio - events pop up at venues across the city, and private parties come to your chosen location.
How do we book?
Grab tickets on our website (our live site is thekilnhousenottingham.co.uk) or email thekilnhousenottm@gmail.com for private parties.
