Pottery Courses/classes & Workshops
Working with clay, whether it is throwing on the potter’s wheel or hand building, can be very enjoyable as well as meditative and therapeutic.
There is nothing more special than a piece of pottery made with your own hands. Whether it is a functional piece you use every day, a decorative piece for your home or a gift you have made for someone special.
Making pottery on the wheel is a three stage process:
- The first stage is throwing the pot on the wheel.
- The second stage is trimming, this is done once the pot has dried slightly, the piece is then left to fully dry before its first firing in the kiln known as the bisque firing.
- The third stage is glazing. This is done once the piece has had its first firing and is then fired a second time, the glaze firing.

Once you have thrown your pots, they will then left for a day or two to firm up slightly and I will then tidy them up for you. They will then be left to fully dry out before having their first firing in the kiln known as the bisque fire.
You will be notified once ready for collection or book into one of the glazing classes to give them your personal touch.
I am only able to keep your work on our shelves for 3 months at the longest as I need to make sure there is enough space for new students work. Any work not collected within this time frame will be donated or thrown out.
