About

TIERRA – A Space for Clay, Creativity and Community in Eastbourne.

At TIERRA, we celebrate the beauty of handmade—where earth, hands and creativity come together in harmony. Our studio is a welcoming space where beginners and experienced potters alike can explore the art of pottery, refine their skills and express themselves through clay. Whether you are looking to take a class, join an open studio session or become part of a creative community, TIERRA offers a warm and inspiring environment to shape, create and connect. We invite you to discover the joy of working with clay, one piece at a time.

We offer a wide range of pottery experiences designed to suit both first-time visitors and those looking to develop their skills further. Our Taster Hand-Building Classes are ideal for beginners and visitors, providing a relaxed one-off session where participants learn fundamental hand-building techniques and create their own functional piece, such as a mug or bowl.

For visitors travelling to Eastbourne, we make the experience completely stress-free. Once each piece has been finished, fired and glazed, we offer a first-class postal service, sending completed work safely to any address within the UK, allowing visitors to enjoy the experience without the need to transport fragile items.

For those seeking a more social and creative experience, our Clay & Wine Classes combine pottery with a laid-back atmosphere, allowing participants to enjoy a glass of wine while crafting their own ceramic piece. These sessions are particularly popular with couples, groups and those celebrating special occasions.

Throughout the year, we also run a variety of seasonal and themed workshops, including Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Halloween and Christmas workshops, as well as other special events. These workshops offer unique, festive experiences and make thoughtful and creative gift ideas.

In addition, TIERRA provides structured pottery courses for those who wish to learn more in depth over several weeks, as well as membership options for local residents. Memberships offer regular access to the studio, use of equipment and the opportunity to become part of a growing creative community in Eastbourne.

We welcome both visitors and locals into our studio to experience pottery in a relaxed, creative and community-focused setting.
