Glaze your own work with our in house glazes
Surface decoration with coloured slips
Over the 6-week course, you will learn coiling, pinching and slab building techniques, having the opportunity to decorate your pieces with coloured slips and oxides, creating functional or decorative pottery.
Each 2.5-hour session includes detailed demonstrations and personalised guidance through your creative journey. You will leave with new skills and a deeper understanding of the ceramic making process.
We use stoneware clay and custom in-house glazes, to make each piece food and dishwasher safe. We first fire to 1000 degrees, after which a glaze of your choosing will be applied and fired to 1230 degrees.
We provide everything you need to bring your ideas to life, including aprons and all the necessary tools and equipment. The course runs for 2.5 hours per week, over 6 consecutive weeks, offering plenty of time to develop your skills and complete your projects.
Held weekly for 2.5 hours over 6 weeks.
Fancy a brew? We’ve got you covered with great tea and coffee facilities - and of course biscuits! There is also a delightful selection of handmade mugs to choose from (although picking the perfect mug might take longer than it takes for the kettle to boil).
Our courses are kept small, so you get the full benefit of expert advice while in a cosy friendly setting, with a maximum of 6 students per course. All courses are designed for beginners, returners and people wanting to refresh their skills. Please note that as a small independent studio, we have limited space and can only store fired pieces for up to 12 weeks. There is an additional charge of £5 per kg of clay for work you would like to be fired and glazed. Your finished pieces will be weighed before the first firing at £5 per kilogram and must be paid for at the end of the course. (An average mug/bowl weighs around 250gms-£1.25). All will be glazed in your chosen in-house glaze. Most students in total over the 6 weeks will have an additional cost of £13-£18. This course is designed for adults to explore their creativity- we have a range of other workshops to facilitate children’s exploration with clay.
