Thurs Evening Class, Autumn: Block 1

Class content

These weekly sessions allow you to work on your own projects; developing handbuilding, decorating and glazing skills. I will work with you to decide on a personal making plan and offer hands on help and guidance to take your idea, whatever it may be, from clay to finished fired piece. I've never said no to a project idea yet -apart from a toilet one time! The classes have a mixed range of abilities and are a friendly and supportive environment, creating great friendships as well as fab pots! Price includes all clay, glaze and kiln firings (within reason!) We work in stoneware using Earthstone 5 clay and stoneware glazes. You can help yourself to tea, coffee and biscuits throughout the session - vitally important for creativity! If you've not worked with clay before, or you're not sure it's for you yet, please try one of my Taster Sessions before signing up to these weekly classes. Have a look at the workshop page for available sessions. DON'T FORGET!: Your glasses if you wear them & trim nails before class, as you’ll find it easier to work with the clay.
