Clay Experience Course

Our popular three-session course comprises of two sessions to make, one to return to glaze giving you a fantastic introduction to creating with clay! 

First session is an afternoon learning a range of hand building techniques slab, pinch, coil. The following week experiencing an intensive introduction to throwing on the pottery wheel. When your pottery has been bisque fired, you return to your work, so you complete every stage of the process all the way from clay to finished ceramics!

Your pots will take approximately 3-5 weeks to dry and bisque fire.

You book your 3rd session once the first firing has taken place, to come back, to decorate and glaze! You can experiment with underglaze techniques and have access to our range of crystal glazes and artisan glazes.

We have a maximum of just 8 places per course, each session with a dedicated tutor. This means that you get unparalleled levels of support from our fun and friendly team. 

This is an entry level course for adult learners looking for an introduction to clay.

The course is great value, giving you a broad experience of ceramic techniques, at just £160 for the sessions including all materials and firing!
