WEDNESDAY EVE
A hand building ceramics course showing a finished cat planter

Join us on our 6-week hand building ceramic course!  This course is suitable for beginners and those with experience.  If you are a beginner, you will learn the basics of hand building ceramics over 4 weeks.  Learning coil, pinch pot and slab building techniques.  Returning potters will have a variety of challenges to extend and develop skills previously learnt.  The last 2 weeks of the course you will explore the world of glazes, transforming your ceramics with a world of colour.

Missed Sessions Policy
Please note that missed sessions cannot be made up, but we will do our best to ensure you catch up during the 6 weeks.  If we miss a session, we will make the session up.

Number of Pieces Policy
Pottery Wheel Course: You will throw many pieces in the 4 weeks of throwing, but only keep between 4 & 6 in total.  This is to ensure that we have time to turn everything round in our firing schedule and also so that you are able to glaze your pieces.

Hand Building Course: You can make up to 6 smaller pieces in total over the four weeks of making.  You might only choose to make one large sculpture.  We will discuss this with you to ensure that your project(s) are fired in time and so that you have sufficient time to glaze your pieces.

What to bring with you

  • Please bring an apron or towel every week.
  • Short finger nails.
  • Long hair must be tied back.

Additional Sessions Policy
If you don’t finish glazing all your pottery pieces by week 6 we will clear glaze them for you.  Alternatively you can buy additional glazing sessions at £30 per 2 hours.  (Prices subject to change).

Additional Pots Policy
Participants may keep additional pots beyond the maximum of six, provided prior agreement has been made.  The cost for bisque and glaze firing these is calculated by cubic inch.  Additional glazing sessions are £30 per 2 hours. (Prices subject to change).

Cancellation Policy
Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the block of 6 week classes and there are no refunds.  If you need to cancel, we will do our best to fill your place by finding another person to attend.  If we are able to find someone to attend in your place, you will receive a voucher so that you can reschedule for another class.  Alternatively, you can nominate a friend to take your place.

Disclaimer
Due to the nature of kiln-fired arts, slight imperfections can occur and, on rare occasions, kiln fired pieces might shatter during the firing process. While we take every precaution to ensure that this does not happen, there are some factors that are beyond our control.
