At SkandiHus we offer an alternative way to connect and relax using the healing powers of clay.

Whether you are planning a corporate event, a team-building activity, want to have fun with friends or surprise a loved one, we would love to welcome you for a private class away from the distractions of the outside world, surrounded by plants and good energy. We can host the class at one of our beautiful studios, or at your offices. Please see below for further information on each option.

We can tailor the class to your needs, and are happy to take suggestions. Please contact our Office Manager, Olivia, to discuss your plans and availability.

In Studio Events

Some examples of classes that we run are:

  • Networking

  • Hen/Stag parties (e.g. a chance to make beautiful cups, name cards or perhaps vases for the wedding table)

  • Team Building (e.g. team creative projects)

  • Christmas Parties (e.g. a chance to make Christmas decorations or tea-light holders)

  • Private classes for two

Group private hand-building classes at our studios start at £550 (for up to 10 people, thereafter £55 per head) and wheel-throwing classes start at £720 (for up to 8 people, thereafter £90 per head) for a 2.5 hour class with a private teacher. Private classes for 2 can be arranged for £275.

During a hand-building class, you will learn various hand-building techniques, such as pinching, coiling, and making handles. During a wheel-throwing class, you will learn how to centre clay on the potter’s wheel and throw simple cylinders or bowl shapes.

Each person tends to make between one to four pieces. At the end of the class, we ask each guest to choose their favourite piece to be finished and fired. We will then fire the pieces for you, glaze them in our SkandiHus white glaze, and then fire them again. They will be ready to collect within eight weeks of the class. Please see below for some examples of pieces made in our private hand-building classes.

Remote Events

We are also able to hold private team building classes in your office space at a time that suits you, using materials that we will send to your chosen location.

Private remote events start at £650 (for up to 10 people, thereafter £55 per head) for a 2.5 hour class with a teacher who will come to your offices.

Each group will receive clay, paints and tools prior to the event, and one of our experienced teachers will join you on the day to show you how to craft your own little masterpiece. The clay that we use is our air-dry clay, so when your piece is complete it doesn’t need to be fired, and can be admired and adored immediately! Please note that air-dry clay is not waterproof or food-safe, so pots will not be suitable for eating or drinking from. They make for wonderful decorations, and would be suitable for small sculptures, candleholders, storing trinkets, or for holding small plants which don’t require much water.

Feedback from former participants

‘We hosted a Topshop Topman press event at SkandiHus and cannot recommend it enough! Our teacher was so accommodating and such a warm personality and the studio is absolutely stunning! Was such an enjoyable night and we’re still getting comments from press on how much fun they had! We’re all hooked after the one session and will be booking onto the courses ASAP.’ - Topshop, Arcadia Group

‘We have worked with SkandiHus on many events including two of our most exclusive events in the UK and Sweden, and it’s safe to say that they bring the magic wherever they go. We hope to collaborate with this brand as much as possible’. - Joanne Blacker, Instagram & Facebook Event Lead
