Evening Pottery Classes |
Pottery lessons with Susan O'Byrne
starting end of August 2010:
These popular pottery classes at the Glasgow Ceramics Studio are once again open for enrollments. But be quick - small class sizes mean personal attention from the teacher, but at the same time, limited spaces.

These classes open with a sampler of each of the most popular clay working techniques - hand building using coiling and slabs, followed by working on the potter's wheel, working from a model and mould making. The classes culminate with an exciting outdoor raku firing. Three weeks are set aside for a personal project which you can develop using your new found skills.
The classes are suitable for beginner and intermediate levels. They are also perfect as professional development for primary and secondary school art teachers.
Classes cost £150 for ten weeks, and run once a week in the evenings from 7pm till 9pm.
