"Enrol by 6th September and save 5% on your course fee — no code needed!"

This friendly and supportive course is perfect for complete beginners ready to discover the joy of working with clay. Over 10 weeks, you’ll learn a range of hand-building techniques — including pinching, slab building, coiling, and using moulds.

You’ll explore pattern, texture, and mark-making, and experiment with decorating your pieces using slips, oxides, underglazes, and glazes. Along the way, you’ll learn the basics of glazing to give your work a beautiful finish.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of unique, fully fired pieces to take home and enjoy.

This aims to be a friendly class with support and encouragement from your tutor and your course mates.

No previous experience necessary, just enthusiasm to learn and have a go!

These weekly, tutor-led sessions are perfect for complete beginners or anyone who’d like to refresh and revisit the basics of pottery. The course focuses on building strong foundations, so it’s best suited to those starting out or rebuilding confidence, rather than advanced learners.
