Our Story
At House of Kaolin, we offer a relaxing, creative and inclusive space for anyone to explore ceramics in its many forms; either as a complete beginner working with clay for the first time or an experienced artist or creative looking to expand their skills and add a new medium to their practice.
​
Kaolin (also known as china clay) is a fine white clay named after it's place of origin, Kao-Ling (Gaoling "high-ridge") in China. It's essential when making clay and widely used in the ceramics industry.
It's what we're named after. This material from the earth that brings us together - no hierarchy, just mud.
