Beginners Pottery Course

Always wanted to try the pottery wheel? This welcoming 6-week course is the perfect place to begin.

​

Designed for complete beginners, you’ll be guided step-by-step through the essential techniques of wheel-thrown pottery. Across the course you’ll learn how to centre clay, shape forms such as bowls and cylinders, trim your pieces, and finish them with beautiful studio glazes.

​

Each session begins with a demonstration from your tutor before you move onto the wheel to practise your skills with plenty of guidance along the way. Working in our calm studio environment, you’ll gradually build confidence and develop the rhythm and satisfaction that comes from creating pottery by hand.

​

By the end of the course you’ll have created a small collection of your own finished ceramic pieces to keep.

With only 6 places available (one per wheel), this course offers plenty of individual support and guidance.
