CERAMIC CLASSES AND COURSES
ENJOY CREATING YOUR OWN WORK OF ART
With lots of one to one tuition from Sue you will be able to produce your own ideas, vases, bowls, sculpture, wall plaques……
All the work is made from slabs or coils, not throwing on a wheel. This means that anyone, whatever their skill level can make interesting and beautiful work.

SLABS are rolled out, decorated with your own patterns, left to harden a little, then Sue will help you put them together to form the finished article.

COIL pots are built up using strips of clay joined together then smoothed out, all sorts of shapes can be achieved, then decorated.

MOULDS can be used as the basis for bowls and platters etc.

GLAZES are applied after the first firing to produce your unique colours, texture and finish.
BEGINNERS AND THE MORE EXPERIENCED WELCOME
With lots of one to one tuition beginners and the more experienced can work side by side.
You need not have done pottery before, hand built pieces can be made in easy stages with help and a guiding hand.
Explore new ideas in texture, decoration, sculpting, shapes and glazes.

ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE
Whilst expecting you to produce some serious pieces the atmosphere is light hearted with the emphasis on having fun and everyone enjoying themselves.
