Standalone  6 week Clay Course

A 6 week stand alone clay course for beginners and upwards.

Six Week Clay Course

In addition to our regular rolling six week termly classes we offer a six week stand alone course on a Wednesday evening from 6.30-9.00pm.

This class caters for up to 10 participants and covers the range of handbuilding techniques and some throwing. Basic glazing techniques and other decorative techniques are also covered on this evening class.

You will make several projects over the course of six weeks all of which will be fired and finished for you and can be collected after the course is completed.

This is a perfect opportunity to learn and make and to decide if working in clay is something you want to pursue. Participants can then register for the regular clay classes if they wish and will be placed on a high priority wait list for vacancies on these classes.
