At Trylla, we believe that PLAY and PASSION are most important when making pottery. We are proud to have created a safe and relaxed place for people to come and learn how to make pots, get inspired, and make mistakes along the way.
The ceramics studio benefits from two kilns that you can rent out to fire your pottery, two electric pottery wheels for throwing, and a huge clay store - as well as decorative slips, underglazes and glazes in every damn colour you can think of (yes, we have a problem - can someone stop Alice from ordering new colours please?!)
Our bright and airy co-working space can be used in the daytime, and we also offer our renowned Clay Club and Wheel Workshops in the evening. The studio is decked out with workbenches, and is well equipped for hand-building techniques like coiling, slab building, and pinch pots.
Alice
Head Technician, Wheel Wizard + Pottery Nerd (she/her)
Resident ceramics cool guy/nerd. Alice has been doing ceramics for 12 years now, and still has as much love and enthusiasm for it as the day she started out. Alice has worked in many different studios over the years and now runs Trylla as our Big Boy Boss Technician. Alice welcomes any questions you have, so if you want to chat you can generally catch her at the studio on Wednesday, Thursday or Saturday. Or give her a call on our mobile number any other time. Arrive with an iced coffee (cows milk) in hand and she is likely to chat about clay and share knowledge with you for a loooooong time.

Sue (Alice's Mum)
Crafty Bitch and Seamstress Extraordinaire (she/her)
Trylla is a family run bussiness and so Sometimes you will find Sue helping out behind the till.
Sue is a wealth of knowledge on all things textiles. Sadly she has only a base level of knowledge about ceramics (her words) but is happy to call Alice to ask questions.
