We have been running our introductory pottery classes for beginners since 2016. The response is always surprising and heartening. Most students come with no experience and the expectation of having a few bowls made by our first tea break. Our mornings can look chaotic as everyone grapples with centering clay. By the time we return from lunch there is a real sense of determination to master the art of throwing. The room fills up with pots and the potting bug takes hold.
We’ve responded to a growing demand with variety of pottery classes and now run regular all-day-long weekend throwing classes, 7-weeks evening workshops, handbuilding and glazing classes.
