Join our weekly, tutor-led pottery sessions designed to spark creativity and build confidence. Perfect for complete beginners, as well as returning learners who want to refresh skills or progress further, this course focuses on strong foundations and enjoyable, hands-on learning.

Over 10 weeks, beginners will be guided through essential hand-building techniques — including pinching, slab work, coiling, and using moulds. You’ll also explore texture, pattern, and mark‑making, and experiment with decorating your pieces using slips, oxides, underglazes, and glazes. You’ll learn the basics of glazing to give your finished work a beautiful, personal touch.

Returning learners, along with those who already have some experience, are warmly welcome to build on their existing skills, take on new challenges, and develop individual projects with support from the tutor.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a collection of unique, fully fired pieces to take home and enjoy.

This is a friendly, supportive class with guidance from your tutor and encouragement from fellow learners — a space to learn, create, and have fun.

No previous experience necessary, just enthusiasm to learn and have a go!
