Weekly pottery classes

Term based six week regular rolling pottery classes suitable for both beginners and those who have more experience.

Weekly pottery classes

Wednesday mornings 10.00 – 12.30

Wednesday Evenings 6.30-9.00pm

  • Want to create with clay?
  • Beginner or with more experience?
  • Then our regular pottery classes are perfect for you!

We design our classes so that all new participants are taught the main techniques of making and decorating with clay.  Handbuilding, throwing on the wheel and glazing are all included. They are then free to create as they please under the helpful guidance of our class leaders.

Regular class members can either refresh their skills by sitting in with new participants, or enjoy working on their own projects, secure in the knowledge that one of our experienced course leaders is there to help and support whenever required.

If the clay bug bites hard (and it often does!) and a weekly session is no longer enough for you, then you can join our Flexible Pottery Classes and enjoy making with clay whenever you choose.

Enjoyed a clay throwing experience today. Got struck straight in and had a great time with a ball of clay and loads of water! Plenty of guidance and encouragement from Sophie who made sure we all managed to produce our own ‘unique’ pots. No experience necessary just a willingness to get stuck in and give it a go. Great fun!

Just a brief note to say how much I enjoyed my introductory pottery lesson. The session was nicely paced & easy going. We each produced a superb piece of pottery, so all in all, a great success. really worth giving a go & good fun.

It’s only week 2 of my 6 week clay course, but I’ve already learnt so much! and I am loving using this knowledge to create freely in a lovely workspace with wonderful people and expert tuition. I am excited to glaze, coil and throw in the upcoming weeks and I would highly recommend the course to anyone wanting to learn. Roll on Wednesday for week 3 !!

Excellent 2 hours enjoyed in different sessions with different tutors by both myself and my niece. We both had fun, learnt something and had a couple of creative pieces to keep. Both tutors were friendly, helpful and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Who knew you could have so much fun with clay!! Started a 6 week workshop in this magical clay filled wonderland with Lise Moorcroft, she has the patience of a saint and the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store!...and with her help I turned a blob of clay into a masterpiece! So, if your looking for a delightful, messy, and utterly entertaining way to spend your evening, then sign up for a pottery workshop!

We did an afternoon throwing experience and it was brilliant! So much fun and we even managed to come out with some lovely bowls!! Ceri was a great teacher and joined in with our giggles along the way. A truly fabulous experience and brilliantly facilitated by Lisa & Ceri. Thank you both, Kate
