Explore the art of pottery throwing on the wheel on this four-week evening course.

This course will run over four sessions on Wednesdays 30th April, 7th, 14th & 21st May 6:00pm – 8:30pm.

You will be guided through the process and techniques of creating pots on the wheel. You will experiment with trimming, the process of cutting away excess clay to create a smoother, cleaner finish, and with foot rings and handles to take your pieces to the next level.

At the end of the course, you can decorate your favourite pieces which will be fired and glazed in our ceramic studio. Pieces will be ready to collect three weeks from the end of the course.
Classes are kept small to maximise your time with your teaching artists, ensuring you can really nurture your skills.

If you really enjoy the course, and want to explore your passion for ceramics further, there’s the option to join as a ceramics member – find out more about ceramics membership here!

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for adults who are complete beginners or for those who wish to refresh their previous knowledge. You don’t need to feel confident in clay to start this course as all aspects of the medium are covered.
