Build on your pottery foundations and develop greater confidence, control and creativity with clay.

Ideal for those who have completed a beginners’ course or have equivalent experience, this six-week course combines wheel throwing, more advanced hand-building and surface decoration, with space to experiment and develop your own style.

Across six weekly two-hour sessions, you’ll explore:

• Week 1: Throwing bowls and curved forms with greater consistency.

• Week 2: Creating taller vases and bottles, exploring shoulders and narrower necks.

• Week 3: Trimming and refining your pots, including creating foot rings.

• Week 4: Slab construction for lidded, geometric or sculptural vessels.

• Week 5: Expressive hand-built forms using coils or moulds.

• Week 6: Decorating with slips, underglazes and glazes, including sgraffito and wax resist.

Price: £265 per person. 

Age: 18+

What to bring: All tools and aprons are provided. 

What to wear:  Clay is messy, so we encourage casual dress when possible.  The stoneware clay used in this class will brush or wash off of most fabrics easily.  

Where we meet: 127 High Street, Henley-in-Arden B955AU

Accessibility: We pride ourselves in being accessible.  We have a ramped entrance for those with limited mobility and a ground floor toilet.  All of our pottery wheels can be operated by hand or foot.  We encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific needs prior to booking.
