Pottery Lessons in Tiverton – for Adults
This service includes one 90-minute pottery lesson for one person. It takes place in my Devon studio (Tiverton, near Exeter).
All the materials you need (clay and tools) will be provided. If you want your creations fired and glazed, there will be a small, weight-based surcharge for each piece.
The pottery lessons are suitable for all levels of experience (adults and teenagers aged 16 and above).
Please note that I don't have the space for more than one person at a time, and there are no common areas for people to wait while you're working with me.
You will receive a confirmation email with the address and directions to the studio, as well as some information about your lesson.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR JUNK FOLDER IF YOU DON'T GET THE EMAIL!

I’ve been really enjoying my pottery sessions with Sabine! It’s clear that she’s passionate about her craft and is excellent at projecting that passion into her teaching. Sabines pottery studio is very cosy and full of character much like herself. She’s very mindful of her students comforts and always offers a lovely cup of tea on arrival and keeps the studio warm in the winter. I’m only a few lessons in but already looking forward to a long future of classes with Sabine!
I had my very first pottery lesson today and it was absolutely brilliant. Sabine was incredibly welcoming and immediately put me at ease, even though I was a little nervous. Her calm, knowledgeable approach made the whole experience feel accessible and exciting. She explained each step with clarity and purpose, helping me understand not just the how, but the why; which really boosted my confidence, especially as I’d never used a pottery wheel before.
What stood out most was Sabine’s artistic vision. She shared insights into her creative process that added a whole new layer of meaning to the session. It wasn’t just about technique; it was about expression, intention, and beauty. I left feeling inspired and eager to return for more lessons, to keep learning and creating under her thoughtful guidance.
Highly recommend to anyone curious about pottery or looking for a nurturing, creative space to explore it!
Sabine effortlessly exudes patience, kindness and thoughtfulness in her manner. She's the real deal. If you are looking for a mentor who will tailor her teaching to suit her student's needs but who will do so with a focused and dedicated style then you have found her. I cannot recommend Sabine highly enough. I look forward to our next lesson.
I always knew that I wanted to try pottery lessons and working with Sabine has not only fuelled a greater passion for throwing on the wheel but also inspired me to focus on enjoying the process rather than solely focusing on the product. The experience makes me feel so present and grounded thanks to Sabine and I am given the space to concentrate with the support to learn and improve. Also, I couldn't believe I walked away from my first ever lesson having made two bowls! I couldn't have been more lucky to find a teacher like her, I will definitely be back for more lessons. I would recommend her to anyone that is curious to try pottery lessons as it's the most fun I've had and a pleasure to learn more about her.
Sabine is a great teacher. She is patient and supportive and an excellent guide. The facilities are everything you could ask for. It is peaceful and secluded so you can fully focus your attention. I'm very please to have found her for a teacher.
