Play with Clay

With the help of our tutor Niamh Phillips, you will explore two primary construction methods and delve into the vibrant world of coloured clay inlay. By the end of the 5 weeks, you’ll have a collection of unique pieces, such as:

Pinch Pot Creations: Salt pigs, organic mugs, vases to name just a few!

Slab-Built Projects: Structured jugs, boxes, or geometric planters featuring your own custom patterns.

The Finishing Process

You design it, you build it, and you decorate it. Once the course is complete, we will carefully dry, fire, and glaze your work in a professional transparent gloss to make your colours pop. Your finished masterpieces will be ready for collection 4 weeks after the final class.
