Pottery For Continuing Skills - DAY & EVENING CLASSES (6 wks)

Introducing our Pottery for Continuing Skills course!

This 6-week course is the next step from our Pottery for Beginners course, supporting you in moving towards becoming an independent and confident potter.

The course will contain tutorials and demonstrations, aimed at the next stages of your learning. Encouraging experimentation, taking hand-building and wheel throwing to the next level, and really supporting you to develop your own unique creative style.

Each week has a different focus and challenge meaning that no two courses are the same, allowing you to continue your practice and build up your skills and your own body of work over multiple courses if you choose to continue with us and re-book another 6-week block.

Weeks on the Continuing Skills course may include the following techniques:

Making composite pieces / working on a larger scale / relief carving and carving into clay / further developing your understanding of glazing.

Available Courses:

Thursday 18th Apr to 23rd May 2024 - 9.30am to 12pm OR 5.45pm to 8.15pm - £265

Thursday 6th June to 11th July 2024 - 9.30am to 12pm - £265

Materials are included for up to 6 projects to be glazed and fired (there are limits on size and weight please discuss this with staff). If you wish to make more than one item each week and want this to be glazed and fired then there is a cost of £4 per item of glazed and fired work (up to 800g per item to be charged in advance). Extra items that you might make during your session for practice and skills building, will not be charged if they are not glazed and fired and the clay can be recycled in our studio.

We recommend a minimum of one set of beginners’ courses before progressing to our continuing skills course, which covers more advanced techniques. Or you may wish to stay on the beginners courses for longer as we run them throughout the year.

The course itself is in-person in our studio in Sprowston - see here for location.
