This workshop is designed for all skill levels, offering you the chance to learn exciting techniques like slab building and coiling to make beautiful bowls, plates, platters, and decorative vases.
Not only will you learn the relaxing and therapeutic art form of hand-building, but you'll also be able to experiment with surface decoration and glaze techniques.
Anyone aged 8 and over is welcome to join, but anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult who is also taking the class.

Work may crack or even explode during kiln firing; we do not offer refunds for such instances. If your piece is mistakenly picked up by someone else, we regret we cannot offer refunds. Ensure your name is clearly marked on your work.
