Two Day Intensive Pottery Course, 8th-9th Aug, 11am-5pm

This course will be held at our new studio on 84E Vyse Street, B186HA

Tuesday 8th August to Wednesday 9th August, 11am-5pm.

This intensive two day pottery course will guide you through the many steps involved in making a small selection of finished ceramic pieces – from preparing clay, throwing on the wheel, to applying slip decoration.  We will cover some beginners theory and focus on practicing different techniques for both throwing on the wheel and handbuilding. You will get the chance to try making a bowl, cup/vase and a plate – creating your very own miniature pottery collection.

The course takes place in our studio in the Jewellery Quarter and is suitable for adults who are starting out on their clay journey as well as intermediate makers who would like to improve their skills. Group numbers are capped at 8 people to ensure that every student receives enough one-to-one tuition and to allow a comfortable working environment.

Working with clay is a messy business, remember to bring an apron and trim long nails as they can get in the way of your creative expression. All materials and the firing of your pieces are included in the course price. Please bear in mind that it could take up to 6 weeks after the end of the course for pots to go through the final transparent glaze kiln before you can collect them.
