About us

Heima is the Icelandic word for “at home”. Our focus is purely to make unique handmade items that can be gifts or personal use or display, you name it you got it!  Heima Pottery offer short workshops and teach the various techniques of hand building in each workshop. The idea originated years ago whilst teaching friends and their children the different hand building techniques. Watching their learning and sense of pride blossom when a piece was finished made me realize that I wanted to be able to see this more and get kids and adults to benefit from doing pottery. Its so relaxing, kills stress, promotes a sense of well- being whilst socialising and learning off each other. There is nothing more satisfying to watch children learn and understand the dynamics of clay and walk out with pride with masterpieces clenched tightly in their hands with pride!
