Six week Clay Courses
Clay Courses
Wednesday mornings 10.00 – 12.30
Wednesday Evenings 6.30-9.00pm
- Want to create with clay?
- Beginner or novice?
- Then our six week clay courses are perfect for you!
We design our courses so that participants are taught the main techniques of making and decorating with clay. Handbuilding, throwing on the wheel and glazing are all included.
Our structured six week programme starts at the beginning of every term for those new to the courses.
Returners 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 beginner’s course is no longer enough for you, then you can join our Flexible Pottery Classes and enjoy making with clay whenever you choose.
