About

This workshop series aims to introduce beginners to hand building clay methods. Starting at a very basic level, participants will be introduced to slab construction, pinch pots and basic carving techniques to construct basic functional forms like cups, dishes and plates.

You can book into one or all of the sessions, each session will complete one object.

Session 1: Pinch Pot Coffee cup

Session 2: Slab formed Shell Bowl

All forms created will be clear glazed, fired and returned at a later date; this process can take up to 3 weeks. Part 2 of the workshop series will be focused on basic wheel throwing, this method takes a lot of practice and patience therefore dates for this will be released in 2025.
