What will I study?

Learn techniques in clay including coiling, throwing and slab pots.

In this weekly class you will develop skills in ceramics and the throwing hand-building techniques used. Your tutor will demonstrate a range of techniques throughout the course such as coiling, slab-building, throwing and press-moulding. There will also be demonstrations of different approaches to glazing to achieve a variety of surface effects. You will be able to work at your own pace and encouraged to work on individual projects of your own design.

Further demonstrations of specific techniques can also be given to smaller numbers within the group or one-to-one upon request. Those learners with more experience will be able to self-direct their work and the tutor will offer guidance as and when it's needed.

Our fully equipped studio will give you access to all necessary tools and the firing kiln.

On completion of this course you will have gained a variety of skills and techniques in ceramics.
