SUMMER CLASSES & COURSES

WEEKEND BEGINNERS & ALL LEVELS POTTERY COURSE

NEW FOR THE SUMMER! This new beginners and all levels combined hand building and throwing on the wheel weekend course will give you a great grounding in pottery if you are a beginner and take you to the next level if you already have some experience. Adults 18+ only.

Maximum 8 students with up to 3 teachers so you will get loads of one to one time.

• Friday, Saturday & Sunday 10.30am-4.30pm with an additional 3 and a quarter hour glazing session once the work has all been fired.

• A less structured course than some of our others. It allows you the freedom to explore and develop at your own pace. It also allows you to really get into a project without having to pack everything up after 2 hours.

• You will be taught to throw on the wheel & hand building techniques such as coiling, pinching, working with slabs & nerikomi.

• You will be encouraged to put your ideas down on paper and use them to come up with projects based on the techniques you have learnt.

• You will have time to up your skills on either the wheel, hand building or a bit of both. You decide how to break up your day.

• Improvers/intermediates will work with the tutors to develop your skills using the  techniques you are most interested in developing your own projects and working from our set projects.

• Finishing with a glaze class once all your work has been fired.

Friday, Saturday & Sunday 10.30am-4.30pm.
Glaze class will be on a Saturday once all your work has been fired.
