Beginner Classes
£59 per person for a three-hour session
These sessions are designed to give a good understanding of basic hand-building and decorating techniques. Make with a range of different clays, experiment with exciting textures and colourful surface decoration, and glaze the fired pieces.
PLANT POTS - Slab-build - £59
Saturday 6th September - 10am-1pm
Roll beautiful slabs, add texture and learn how to stick them together to create vessels with curved and flat sides. Think outside the box- slabs don’t have to be square! Build pieces with interesting shapes to create truly unique vessels.
