Monday Evening Pottery Class | All Levels

About this course

Participants develop pottery skills across hand building, wheel throwing, surface decoration and glazing. The course introduces a different technique each week, while allowing time to practise, experiment and work at an individual pace. It is structured for makers who already have experience with both hand building and wheel throwing, providing opportunities to extend existing methods and explore new approaches to working with clay.

What you'll learn

• Apply hand-building techniques to pottery projects
• Use the wheel to throw forms
• Decorate surfaces using slips and other techniques
• Apply glazing methods to finished or developing work
• Experiment with different pottery techniques and approaches
