(Experience days run on Saturdays)

This one day course will take you through all three popular hand-building pottery techniques (ie: coiling, slab building and pinching) PLUS you will have a taster session throwing a pot on one of our potters wheels giving you an excellent, all round introduction to pottery.

During the day you will make either a ‘coiled’ fairy house, bowl, dish, pot or planter, ‘pinch’ a set of little dishes, cup, gonk, sculpture or bird, then you will build a slabbed vase, jug or mug and finally, you will centre and throw your very own pot on a wheel.

All of the pieces made during the day will be dried, fired then available for collection approximately two weeks later. If you would like to glaze your work, simply join any drop-in general session at the studio (charged per session).

There will be a short break for lunch so you will need to bring a packed lunch.

You will need to wear comfortable shoes and warm, old clothes suitable for working in a pottery studio. Please also ensure long hair is tied back, rings or watches removed and nails trimmed.

Please bring:

• an apron,
• old towel (plus plastic bag to take home in!)
• any refreshments you may need (there is a cafe on site but please check your workshop times against opening hours).
