Courses
Alongside creating my own ceramic pieces, I run relaxed pottery courses that give you the chance to experience the joy of working with clay in a calm and welcoming environment.
These sessions are suitable for adults of all abilities and levels of experience. No prior knowledge is needed – and there's no such thing as ‘I’m not creative enough!’ Everyone is welcome to explore and enjoy the process.
The focus of each session is to help you connect with clay and fully engage in the hands-on experience of making. I can guide you through throwing on the potter’s wheel, handbuilding techniques, or support you as you create unique pieces of your own.
In the rush of everyday life, it’s easy to feel disconnected. I hope that in my studio, you’ll find a moment to ground yourself, slow down, and reconnect through the mindful process of creating with clay.
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBUILDING
Session run time
10am-1pm (3 hours)
Cost
£80pp
Number of makers
Two makers required, up to four
This three hour session begins by introducing the clay to your hands, and working it in ways that many humans and cultures have engaged with over thousands of years.
-
I will demonstrate the processes, and as you begin to guide the clay into simple forms such as pinch pots and slab pots, I’ll be there to support you and help you explore your own creative style.
This session is perfect for anyone wanting to connect with clay and gain a gentle introduction to some of the techniques involved in hand-building. Whether you’re completely new to clay or simply curious, this is a welcoming and relaxed space to learn.
There is no pressure and no expectations. With a maximum of 4 makers in the studio at any one time, you’ll receive as much guidance as you need in a calm, supportive setting.
-
Learn different styles of hand building and finish the session with handbuilt slab mug.
At the end of the session you can choose up to two pieces to be glazed and fired for you to take home.
This can be a long process, so they will be available for pickup in 4-6weeks. I will email when these are ready and we can arrange pickup.
Throwing Experience
Session run time
3 hours
Cost
£80pp
Number of makers
Two makers required
Throwing Experience is a three-hour pottery wheel class where you'll work with stoneware clay to explore the art of throwing.
This session offers a relaxed and supportive space to learn the basics or refine your technique, helping you build confidence and connection at the wheel.
-
The session begins with an introduction to both myself and the stoneware clay you'll be working with. I’ll give a full demonstration so you know what to expect from your time at the wheel, clearly explaining each step – from centering to shaping the clay.
We’ll take things at your own pace, starting with simple forms such as cylinders, and working at a rhythm that feels comfortable for you.
This throwing session allows enough time for you to create a few small pieces, like cylinders or bowls, as you build confidence with the process.
I have been throwing for over 30 years, and recognise that we will all approach the creative space with different experiences. The process can be taken at your own pace, with as much time as you need to feel comfortable with each step.
There will be a break half way through the session. Tea and coffee will be available.
-
This session will give you enough time to create a few small simple forms. You will learn how to centre and shape the clay, creating forms such as cylinders and bowls.
My throwing sessions are a chance to enter a space where process is celebrated, where you can connect and ground yourself, quieting the world outside.
At the end of the 3 hour session, you can choose two pieces to be fired and glazed.
You can choose to have more pieces fired for a materials charge.
Firing and glazing can be a long process and can take up to 4-6 weeks. I will get in touch when your pieces are ready and we can arrange pickup.
