NEW! pottery workshops in Derby

Join Elaines Clay Club for fun and relaxed ceramics workshops in Mickleover DERBY.

We will learn a variety of beginner friendly hand-building ceramics skills and glazing techniques with a different theme or/and technique every session, this could be anything from ceramic tiles to making sculptures on a sealife theme ( you are also welcome to work on your own projects ). This is a great opportunity to learn a new skill and meet new people all within a creative, fun and friendly atmosphere.

These regular sessions allow you to come to just one, come on a regular basis or just pop in here and there as you please. So you may make a piece in one session, and then glaze/ paint your amazing creation in another.

Whether your new to clay or you have lots of experience all abilities are welcome. Children from age 6 onwards are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult, please contact me with any queries regarding accessibility.

Included in the price of each session is the use of my equipment and tools, clay for the activity and all firing and glazing. Extra items like more clay can be purchased during the workshop.

Frequently asked questions

I have no experience of clay will i enjoy your workshop?

Of course! my beginner friendly workshops will suit anyone who is willing to learn a new skill and have fun, the themes and makes for each session will be designed to be easy to pick up so you can be as creative or challenged as you would like.

I have lots of experience of clay, why should i come to the workshops?

Great! you are most welcome to come and create your own projects, help will be given as and when needed. The workshop fee is all inclusive of clay, glazes and firing ( if you want to make lots/go bigger more clay is available to purchase ) so its a perfect way to keep your passion for clay going.

I am not sure i can make every workshop, will i still enjoy the sessions?

That is absolutely no problem, this is not an in depth course and is designed as a relaxed informal introduction to clay. We will have a different theme/set make for each session using different making techniques.

Can i make and glaze in the same workshop?

My workshops are designed as a regular pop in sessions, but if you are only able to make one session i will fire and glaze a piece in one colour for you ( to collect later or p&p available at extra cost ). Ideally you can come to two more sessions where you can make in one then glaze in another.
