For the perfect introduction to ceramics, join in our four-week beginner’s course.
Handbuilding is one of the oldest forms of pottery, allowing you to make pots, bowls, and more. Our 4-week course lets you dive right into making and exploring various handbuilding methods like coil and slab, while being encouraged to experiment with traditional decorative methods - such as coloured slip decoration and brush on-glazes.
This course is perfect for anyone looking to get a good grounding with handbuilding techniques or for people looking for a refresher with their making in a friendly and supportive environment.
All materials and equipment provided.
