Courses description

This course will teach you three essential hand building techniques, pinching, coiling and slab building, which you can apply to making a variety of different ceramic pieces. You will be taught a different method each week and can make an array of things, from functional mugs, vases and bowls to more decorative pieces like animal sculptures or wall hangings.

You will also be taught decorative techniques, including slip decorating, sgraffito and glazing.

Feel free to bring your own ideas for inspiration, or just come with an open mind. You will be guided with demonstrations and given ideas and inspiration, but this is also a flexible class where you can adapt the techniques to make your own unique creations.

Please note: there will be no class on 11th August.

Student testimonials:

The relaxed atmosphere is great, it allows people to chat and have fun while doing some pottery.

I enjoy the freedom to work on my own projects but with assistance and guidance from Holly if needed.
