Jamie the Baker

Jamie the Baker specialises in artisan bread making and traditional Welsh baking techniques from a coastal studio in Llansteffan, operating from what was once a working bakery. The school combines time-honoured methods with hands-on learning, offering everything from ancient Welsh clay pot bread to modern sourdough techniques. Classes span multiple skill levels and baking styles, from quick one-hour sessions to comprehensive three-hour workshops. The curriculum covers Sourdough, Bread Making, International Baking, Gluten-Free Baking, Cake Baking, and Biscuits & Cookies, with evening classes available alongside special children's workshops during school holidays. Corporate groups and date nights are welcomed, and the venue features a bar where participants can bring their own drinks. The signature Bara Pot Clai workshop from £79 teaches the ancient art of Welsh clay potted bread, where participants learn traditional kneading and shaping methods using authentic clay plant pots that create unique crusts through their porous nature. The comprehensive sourdough course from £99 guides beginners through creating a traditional loaf, braided sourdough garlic bread, and clay flower pot loaf, with participants taking home their own starter. The gluten-free workshop from £89 focuses on texture and binding secrets, producing potted bread baked in traditional Welsh clay pots alongside Welsh cakes and soda bread. Simpler offerings include traditional Welsh cakes from £29 and sourdough muffins from £39, both teaching authentic techniques in relaxed sixty-minute sessions. Classes are limited to small groups and include all ingredients, equipment, and aprons. The coastal location features free parking, games room facilities, and an on-site coffee shop and restaurant, making it ideal for families, couples, and anyone seeking traditional baking skills in a welcoming Welsh setting.
