ABOUT THE COURSE

Take time for yourself and learn the foundations of hand-built pottery in a warm, friendly and supportive studio environment. This 6-week course is ideal for complete beginners, as well as those wishing to return to clay and build confidence at a steady pace.

Across the weeks, you’ll be guided step-by-step through essential hand-building techniques, with space to develop your own creative ideas and personal style.

What You’ll Learn

Pinch pots – shaping forms directly with your hands
Coiling – building expressive or functional vessels
Slab building – constructing forms from rolled clay
Surface decoration – exploring texture, carving, coloured slip, and glazing

You’ll complete a collection of finished ceramic pieces, which will be glazed and fired in the studio.
Firing is included for a reasonable number of pieces. Larger or additional work can be fired for a small fee.

• Total of 15 hours guided studio time

No previous experience is needed. The studio is a relaxed, safe and encouraging environment where curiosity is welcome, and the pace is steady and mindful.

The final session date may be subject to change depending on the drying and firing times of the clay. As ceramic processes are influenced by factors such as humidity, temperature, and thickness of work, occasional adjustments may be necessary to ensure all pieces are properly prepared and finished to a high standard. Participants will be notified in advance if any changes are required.

I look forward to welcoming you to the studio.

• Every care is taken to handle, dry and fire your work safely, though outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
• If glaze or firing issues occur, this is considered a normal part of the ceramic process and refunds cannot be offered on this basis.

Collection of Work

• Work will usually be ready to collect in approximately 3-6 weeks.
• You will be notified by email when your pieces are ready.
• Finished work should be collected within 2 months. Due to limited storage, pieces not collected may be recycled or rehomed.
