WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

About the Course

Beginning with an introduction to clay modelling, over the weeks you will discover how to create a variety of different forms and textures. You'll be encouraged to use sketches and photos to inspire 3D models of still life, animals and heads and faces. The course will also cover working with slips, underglaze pencils, stains and glazes to produce some finished work which you will be able to take home. All materials and tools are provided, as are refreshments. There is a small charge for fired work. 

Courses are paid for termly and we do require you to commit to a whole term of classes. Each session is three hours long and all materials and tools are provided, as are refreshments.

Please note that we only have capacity for a small number of catch-up students per session, and catch-ups are not available in all of our sessions, so advance booking is always required. Catch-ups are untutored and use of a wheel cannot be guaranteed. Catch up sessions can not be carried over to the next term.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We welcome potters of all levels including complete beginners. Our expert tutors will be able to teach the basic skills and develop your practice as you improve. We offer a relaxed beginner curriculum in all our adult pottery classes.

  • Yes! We welcome potters of all levels including advanced throwers, sculptors and hand builders etc. Our expert tutors will be able to guide and develop your practice further.

  • You should wear comfortable clothes which you don’t mind getting a bit of clay on! Layers can be a good idea as temperatures can be a little variable. All students should wear comfortable, flat shoes with non-slip soles and covered toes, and bring an apron/cover-up. Long hair should be tied back for wheel work. We also recommend that jewellery, watches and other valuables are left at home.

  • Yes. Within all of our termly classes we include a tea break which includes a lovely selection of coffee, teas and cakes.

  • You will not need to bring any tools as we have everything you need at the studio. You are, however, welcome to bring your own tools if you prefer to use them.

  • Classes are delivered in a relaxed way and are not too rigid or structured. We feel that it’s important for students to be able to work on their own practice and at their own pace. Tutors do set projects for those who want to take part and these can be interpreted in different ways to suit a variety of skill levels. All students will receive advice and guidance from the tutors and can expect development throughout the duration of the term.

  • We offer a catch-up service for any missed termly classes. We only have capacity for a small number of catch-up students per session, and catch-ups are not available in all of our sessions, so advance booking is always required.

    Catch-ups are untutored and use of a wheel cannot be guaranteed. Any catch-up sessions must be taken within the term the class was missed - we cannot carry over any catch-up sessions into another term.

    We do not offer catch-up sessions for our Short Courses.

  • There is a small firing charge for termly students of £5 per 500g of glazed work and £6 for work with oxide.

    Any work that is over 30cm in width or length will be charged at double the cost.
