Handbuilding workshops can be for 2 hours or 3 hours long and for up to 8 people. Projects can include mugs, functional ware such as bowls, plates and vases or more decorative pieces.
The workshops start with a demonstration of handbuilding techniques such as coiling, slabbing or pinch pots then suggestions and ideas will get your creative ideas flowing.
Coloured slips and glazes can be applied to the clay to decorate your pieces so that once they are dried and fired they will be clear glazed to finish and ready to collect approximately 3-4 weeks later.
No experience is required but if you would like to do a specific project during the workshop then you must advise of this at the time of booking so that the time neccessary can be allowed. Handbuilding and glazing can take longer that expected so it may not be possible to complete certain complex project in time allocated . It's very disappointing to not finish a project when time has run away with extra details and flourishes.
Workshop projects will be added shortly .

Why not try something a little different with a throwing workshop. This is very much hands-on experience all about having fun while creating something out of nothing! No previous experience is needed as full tuition will be given for you to be able to make some treasured and sometimes interesting little pots.
With four studio wheels it's possible for everyone to try their hand at throwing their own pot with family or friends.
A throwing workshop can be a great activity for a special occasion too!
...but beware throwing can be totally addictive!
Options for throwing workshops are below.

The 2hr Introduction to throwing consists of a short demonstration then it will be your turn on the wheel . You and your friends/family will get to grips with the throwing process with several attempts during this time.
You can then choose your favourite two pots which will be dried, fired and given a coating of clear glaze to make them fully functional.
They will be ready 3-4 weeks later to collect.
