Welcome to Obscuria

A working studio in the centre of Hexham. We run 6 week workshops, the occasional Pot and Pint sessions and host Pottery club, where other potters can come and work, with use of the studio, equipment and excellent tea! (We have a social night on a Thursday too!)

If you have always wanted to learn how to create with clay why not have a look at our 6 week hand building courses, or if you're already familiar with the basics and would like a space to keep working and develop those skills have a look at our pottery club.

I was on Robson Green's Weekend Escapes!

I was asked to come and teach Robson and Grantchester star Kacey Ainsworth how to pot! What a lovely day. Watch it on BBC 2 6pm Monday 10th Feb 2025. Season 3 episode 1.

The Obscuria pottery studio is a welcoming space where anyone can come and try their hand at sculpting clay. From Friday Night Pot & Pint experiences to in-depth 6 week pottery workshops.

We cover multiple hand-building methods and glazing as part of our 6 week courses, and provide really good tea, and occasionally biscuits!
