ACCESSIBILITY

At Honeybourne Pottery, we are committed to making our workshops welcoming and inclusive for everyone. Our studio is a calm, friendly space, and we do our best to adapt sessions where possible so that everyone can feel comfortable and supported. Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss any individual needs ahead of your visit.

Pottery is a naturally inclusive, hands-on craft that offers calm, focus, and self-expression - making it especially beneficial for guests with physical, sensory, cognitive, neurodivergent, or mental health needs.

Whether you're seeking a therapeutic outlet, a mindful experience, or simply something new to try, our workshops are designed to be supportive, beginner-friendly, and enriching for all abilities. We offer a range of creative experiences including wheel-throwing and clay modelling to tailored group workshops that can be adapted to suit individual access requirements or group dynamics. We warmly welcome disability organisations, community groups, and mental health services, and offer discounted group rates to support wider participation.
