 Start time 6:00pm

This 4 week workshop is a great way to learn a few different handbuilding skills as well as an introduction to glazing.  This is perfect for beginners or those that have dabbled a little and want to refine their skills.   You will make approximately 3 - 5 items.

The workshop will run over 4 week nights

Week One - Wednesday 5th August 2025 3 hours
Introduction to clay - have a play and make some trinket dishes/small bowls

Week Two 13th August - Week Three 20th August 3 hours each night
You will be able to make an item/items of your choice.   I will have a selection of templates available if needed.

Week Four - 3rd Sept 3 Hours - please note this is two weeks after week 3
Glaze your pieces

Week Five - 10th September
Bonus week - come pick up your finished items.   We will provide supper for this last night so we can all admire everyone's work and have a final catch up before the workshop finishes.

Price includes all materials and tools needed, firing all your items as well as glaze etc

This is a small class with a maximum of 6 people.  

Available for ages 15 plus

For this course if you miss a week there will be no make up days available

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting grubby, there are aprons available.   It is advisable to have reasonably short nails when working with clay.  If you do have nails we can work around it but you might find that  you need to clean up the clay a bit more (even small nails will leave marks as we make the items).

Refreshment will be provided but feel free to BYO if you would like a wee dabble during the class.

Please also be aware that due to the nature of pottery and firing x 2 means that sometimes things don't work out as they should.  I dry mugs super slowly but sometimes cracks etc still form.   It happens, it still happens to me and any potter you talk too will say the same.   I will do my utmost best and handle all your mugs with care but please be aware due to the nature of the craft there may be a breakage.   I really hope not, but sometimes it just happens.
