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 Studio Membership and enjoy making with clay whenever you choose.
