These classes are a great introduction to basic ceramics techniques, including hand building using coiling and slabs, working on the potter's wheel,  mould making,  working from a model and glazing. The classes culminate with an exciting outdoor raku firing. The final three weeks are dedicated to a personal project which you can develop using your new found skills.

Class sizes are small, affording everyone one to one time and individual attention from the teachers. Participants are encouraged to explore their creativity in a fun and relaxing environment. A perfect way to unwind after work or something different to do with friends.

The classes are suitable for beginner and intermediate levels. They are also perfect as professional development for primary and secondary school art teachers. Classes run for 10 weeks and the cost includes all materials, firings, snacks and refreshments. All tools and equipment provided.
