About Andrew Walker Ceramics
Andrew Walker is a ceramic artist based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, specialising in contemporary hand-built ceramics and pottery classes for beginners and creatives. After studying Textile Design and building a career in interior styling, Andrew returned to clay over 25 years later—rediscovering a passion for making that now defines his practice. Today, his work sits at the intersection of sculpture and function, creating modern ceramic vessels inspired by architecture, industrial design, and the built environment.
Pottery Classes in Sheffield
Alongside his studio practice, Andrew runs small-group pottery classes and creative workshops in Sheffield. These sessions are designed for all skill levels—from complete beginners to experienced makers looking to develop their craft.
Classes focus on hand-building techniques such as slab building, moulding, and surface design, with an emphasis on understanding clay as a material as well as a creative medium.
With small class sizes and a calm, supportive environment, students are guided through each stage of the process—from shaping and construction to finishing and firing.

Based at Works 57 in Sheffield, the studio is both a working ceramics space and a creative hub for learning and collaboration. It offers:
Beginner and intermediate pottery classes
