Lessons & Workshops
Our pottery lessons provide the perfect blend of artistic expression, hands on skill development, relaxation and fun! We offer throwing and hand building sessions or if you have something special in mind we can tailor a session just for you.
THROWING (One to One teaching)
We offer a programme of learning which is delivered over the course of 4 weeks and is aimed at beginners. You will learn the process of wedging, throwing, turning and glazing.
Sessions can be accessed during the week from 6-8 pm and also on Saturday mornings between 9-12pm at a cost of £35 per hour. Costs include all clay that is used as well as firing your four most successful pieces of work which will be ready to collect a few weeks after your session. Any additional pieces can be fired at a cost of £5 per item.
Lesson 1: Learn how to wedge the clay, center it on the wheel and practice throwing.
Lesson 2: Throwing session, making your own bowls/vases/small vessels
Lesson 3: Turn your pots from lesson 2 and add any additional details that you may like. This can include carving specific details onto your pots.
Lesson 4: Glaze decoration which would be 30 minutes or 1 hour depending on desired outcomes and number of pots required to be glazed.
HANDBUILDING (1:1 / Couples session)
You will discover the techniques of pinch pots and slab building. You will learn to construct from clay using your hands. Pinch pots will allow you to shape organic forms, while slab building will enable you to construct more structured and intricate designs.
Throughout the workshops, we will provide demonstrations, personalised guidance, and helpful tips to help you refine your techniques.
Expect to make between 3-6 small pieces or previous customers have created one large, individual piece.
Sessions run from 12-3pm on Saturday at a cost of £90 per person or £150 per couple. Costs include all clay that is used as well as firing your work, any additional pieces can be fired at additional cost depending on size. You will choose the stoneware glaze finish and this will be done for you in the firing process. The items you make will be ready to collect a few weeks after your session.
