Beginners Handbuilding: 4 Week Course

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.
