New courses for 2024
In each course we explore a certain making and decorating technique with plenty of room to explore your own ideas. It doesn’t matter if you’re a dab hand or have no experience with clay, everyone is welcome. All prices include tuition, materials, firings for 3 pieces of work and a cuppa…small surcharge if you’re a prolific maker!
Full payment of a course/workshop/wheel session required 8 weeks in advance please
Most courses have a week’s gap so I can bisc fire pots ready for glazing in last session. Please check dates carefully.
