A hidden
studio for
hands & clay.
Tucked behind the shop, cospace is a quiet ceramic studio for slow afternoons — throwing, handbuilding, underglazing — with Hong Kong's gentlest teachers. Ceramic Studio in Wan Chai, Hong KongArtist-led classes in wheel throwing and handbuildingfor beginners and ongoing practice.
01
Run by Ceramic Artists
CoSpace is run by people who actually work with clay.
Our teachers come from wheel throwing and contemporary handbuilding backgrounds, with over 20 years of experience.
You are learning from how they really make, not a fixed curriculum.
02
Built on Practice
We believe ceramics takes time.
Classes focus on repetition, consistency, and understanding how clay behaves.
Make, adjust, and make again. That is where things start to click.
03
Connected to Coninety
CoSpace grew out of Coninety, after five years of working with local ceramic artists.
The studio extends that into making and occasionally brings those artists into the space for workshops.
Four teachers, four hands.
Each teacher comes from a really strong different background.

Summer Camp
We have had experience hosting a 5 day long workshops for kids age 9 and above and we have great success
Recurring lessons, taught by professionals.
Six-week programmes for people who want to go past one weekend. Same teacher every week, your own shelf, real progression.
Wheel Throwing
Wheel throwing is the process of shaping clay on a spinning wheel. You work with your hands to centre the clay, then slowly pull and form it into bowls, cups, and vases. It takes time to build control — but once it clicks, it becomes one of the most intuitive ways to make. Most people who come once, come back.
Handbuilding
Handbuilding is working with clay without a wheel. Using pinching, coiling, and slab techniques, you shape pieces directly with your hands. It is the most forgiving way into clay — quiet, meditative, no spinning required. Many people start here before moving to the wheel. Some never leave.
Architectural Form
Led by Simon Hsu — architect, professor at CUHK, and CoSpace teacher — each 3-week term works through a different study form. You build it through handbuilding, yes. But the real work is understanding why it holds together. Proportion, balance, weight, intention. Once you see differently, you also make differently.
Snuck next to Co Ninety.
We share an entrance with the shop on Sau Wa Fong, a tiny lane joining Star Street and St Francis Street. The studio is at the side. If you walk past once, that's normal — everyone does.

Before you book.
Please inform your teacher at least 12 hours before your session. If you do not give notice within 12 hours, it will be marked as a no-show. We do not offer rescheduling or refunds for no-shows.
Make-up classes must be arranged directly with your teacher within 2 months. If you continue registering for the next term, your make-up class carries over with you.
First-timers can join mid-term for their first enrolment. Once you have started a term, subsequent terms must be joined from the beginning.
A workshop is a single drop-in session — you make one piece and come back when it is ready. A recurring lesson is an ongoing programme with the same teacher each week, your own shelf, and real skill progression over time.
Firing is charged at HK$100 per kg. This covers both bisque and glaze firing. For recurring for some workshop firing cost is included.
We wait until your piece is completely dry before firing to make sure it is safe in the kiln. That process takes up to one month. We will message you when it is ready to collect from the shop, Wed–Sat 1–6pm.
We do. CoSpace is a great fit for team off-sites, company events, and creative afternoons. Get in touch and we will tailor a session to your group.
No. Every workshop labelled "Foundations" assumes zero experience. We cover the basics in the first 20 minutes. Clay, tools and aprons are all provided — just wear something you don't mind getting dirty.
We don't run regular classes for children under 16, but we do offer ceramic camps during summer and public holidays. Message us on WhatsApp to find out what's coming up.
Yes — private classes and events can be scheduled based on your preferred timing. Message us on WhatsApp with your group size and what you have in mind and we will put something together.
