Join our pottery introduction course and enjoy the creative process of ceramics in a nice, relaxing atmosphere.

Brief Description:

Join our pottery introduction course and enjoy the creative process of ceramics in a nice, relaxing atmosphere. You will get the opportunity to explore, create and express ideas in the medium of clay, while learning many of the most often used techniques.

During the course you will be given individual advice in relation to different projects. You will receive a detailed explanation of different techniques like pinched, coiled and slab-built forms, and how to use these techniques to make pots. Demonstrations will be given on how to use a potter’s wheel and you will be able to use the wheel to make your own bowl, under guidance as required. You will be shown surface decoration and painting/glazing techniques before applying them to the forms you have created. Your finished pieces will be fired in our kiln for you to collect and take home after the course has finished.
