We’re absolutely thrilled to be in London x London’s ‘Best Pottery Classes in London’ list. It makes our day when our mission to deliver clay to the people (all people!) is recognised, and we really hope that this article will give you some inspiration to book a class.
Hello Clay Community,
To help raise funds for shelter, food and medical supplies, we brought our community together for a Wheel-throwing Taster Class on Sunday 12th March.
We raised a grand total of £734 which we have donated to Ahbap; a non-governmental organisation who can deliver all aid quickly to those most in need.
In times of crisis, our instinct is always to bring our community together. However, if you were unable to join us for the class, but feel able to support Turkey and Syria, you can donate directly to Ahbap here.
Thank you so much to everyone who came on the day to support us and therefore all those affected by the earthquakes.
Much love,
Team SkandiHus x

Are you new to clay and hoping to join the pottery party? Read the full article to find out how to get into pottery, from a fellow novice ceramicist.
Hello Clay Community,
We hope that you are all doing well, and are enjoying the return of some lovely sunshine this morning. It has definitely put us all in the mood for summer here at SkandiHus, so what better time for us to launch our Summer Intensive Courses?
Monday 4th - Friday 8th July (10:00am-4:00pm); Sunday 31st July (1:00-5:00pm) | E5 Studio
Monday 18th - Friday 22nd July (10:00am-4:00pm); Sunday 14th August (9:00am-1:00pm) | E17 Studio
Taking place at both our E5 and E17 studios, our one week intensive classes cater for those who want to develop their existing skills, and complete beginners alike. It is a unique opportunity to fully immerse yourselves in the world of pottery, and enjoy a mini “clay-cation” in our beautiful and light-filled studios.
You can expect to learn how to make your very own Scandinavian-inspired pieces, such as Stine’s SkandiHus plates, diamond pots, and signature wheel-thrown cups. The emphasis for this course is on learning techniques rather than mass-producing, so we encourage you to keep your favourite pieces only. The course could also be a great opportunity to meet new people, relax, and indulge in some meditative making surrounded by plants and creative energy.
As always, thank you for your ongoing support within our Clay Community. Whether it is posting kind words about us online, or the friendly chats we have when you pop in to see us - we are so grateful! Hopefully we will see you soon in the great summer ahead.
With love,
SkandiHus Team x
A guide to our new SkandiHus neighbourhood…
As the new kids on the Walthamstow block, we are all constantly discovering new little spots and swapping notes on the best places to grab a bite to eat, or a coffee or just take a little break between classes. We thought we’d share our E17 secrets with you all, so that next time you join us for a class, you can really make a day of it!
FOR THE FOODIES…
We’re spoilt for choice with places to eat in E17… Enjoy sustainable sourdough deliciousness from Sodo Pizza and fresh, flavourful (and vegan!) Indian food at SpiceBox. For a lunchtime treat, we highly recommend Froth&Rind’s cheese toasty or a wander to the Lloyd Park Food Market to see what goodies you can find.
Spend an afternoon shopping at Walthamstow Market - the longest market in Europe no less! - or check out our favourite independents; GLOW London and The Every Space. Take some time for yourself to relax and unwind, visit our neighbours East Of Eden to delve into the world of yoga, pilates and meditation.
Don’t forget to visit our lovely little studio and spend a couple of hours in clay heaven, getting a bit messy and making something handmade and beautiful that you’ll treasure forever!
