If you would like to learn the basics of pottery or want to refresh your existing knowledge, this course is for you!

This course includes four classes over four consecutive weeks. It is aimed at complete beginners or those with some basic knowledge of ceramics. Under the guidance of your experienced tutor, you will focus on throwing on the potter’s wheel, pulling handles, turning, glazing, decorating and firing.

All the requisite tools and materials you need are provided for you during each session, and your tutor will be on hand throughout to provide tips and guidance to make sure you’re heading in the right direction.

By the end of the course, everyone will have created finished pieces to take home with them.

Pottery is all about practising, so upon finishing this course you can come back and practise at my studio for a £10/hour price, or you can rent my portable potter’s wheel for £30/week.
