Introduction to Ceramics - 8 Week Course

Introduction to Pottery (Ages 15+)

This eight-week introductory pottery course offers a welcoming and supportive environment to explore the fundamentals of working with clay. Suitable for beginners and those with some experience, the program provides a broad overview of key ceramic processes, from hand-building through to surface decoration and glazing.

Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with a variety of techniques, including pinch, slab and coil construction, while developing their own creative approach to form and function. Time will also be dedicated to introductory wheel throwing, allowing students to gain hands-on experience on the wheel.

Across the course, students will create a series of functional and sculptural pieces, building confidence and technical skills at their own pace.
