Pottery Course

Come and explore hand building with clay.

This five week course is for people with all abilities, whether you want to come and give Pottery a try or if you have some experience of working with clay. If you are new to clay you will be given the opportunity to try different techniques such as slab building, using press moulds, coiling and sculpting.

Helen will give you suggestions to suit your level of ability / experience and guide you through the process. The skills covered on the course will depend on what you decide to make after an initial discussion. More experienced learners can use the time to work on their own projects.

The intention of this 5 week course is to explore / build on different hand building techniques. At the end of week four, your work will then be bisque fired off-site, ready for glazing in week five. It will then be re-fired and ready to collect from Norden Farm at a later date.

The price includes: clay, use of tools, underglazes, decorating slips, glazes and 2x firing of your work.

Please bring with you:
- Sketchbook for ideas
- Pens / Pencils
