Beginners classes

We offer two types of beginners classes, our Wednesday afternoon or evening classes that introduce hand-building, surface decoration, glazing and throwing or our new Tuesday afternoon classes that focus on throwing. All materials are included in the class fee and there is a small additional charge for firing by weight of finished work.

General classes

The general ceramics classes are suitable for anyone who has completed a beginners class or has a little bit of experience working with clay. They run throughout the year (we close for two weeks in August and two weeks over Christmas). The classes are bookable in 4, 8 or 12 week blocks and many of our students have stayed with us for several years! Bring your sketches, photographs or any research materials you wish to use as a starting point. We will guide and support your making with both hand-building and throwing, introducing you to a wide range of techniques to realise your ideas. All materials are included in the class fee and there is a small additional charge for firing by weight of finished work.
