Designed for complete beginners, our 6-week course covers the foundational Hand-Building Pottery skills necessary to create a range of projects including creating with coils, slabs and moulds as well as learning decorative techniques including using coloured slips, underglaze, stoneware glazes, paper resist, sgraffito and more. After the course is completed beginners are encouraged to hone their newfound skills in the pottery as independent potters, joining in with the more experienced potters under the watchful eye of the resident potters – help is always at hand.
