Which class is suitable for me?
Introduction to Clay – Our 9-week Introduction to Clay course is aimed for those wanting to begin learning ceramic skills or returning to pottery after a break away. This is the perfect class to become exposed to the many aspects of pottery, in a supportive and fun environment.
Continuing Beginner – Our Continuing Beginners Pottery course is designed for those who have completed an Introduction to Clay class and are eager to develop their skills further. This course offers a nurturing environment where you can revisit the techniques you’ve learned, build confidence, and explore new creative possibilities with the ongoing support of an experienced pottery teacher.
Continuing Clay with Additional Support – Join our inclusive Continuing Clay classes to refine your skills in hand building and wheel throwing at your own pace. With experienced teachers and additional support for participants with disabilities, these classes provide a safe and welcoming environment for all. These classes are suitable for beginners through to intermediate and advanced students.
Clay Foundations – Our 9 week Clay Foundations classes focus on specific skills and techniques for those who already have some clay knowledge. Classes in our program include wheel throwing, hand building and sculpture classes as well as other specialist skills and techniques.
Continuing Clay – Our 9 week Continuing Clay classes are our most self-directed courses. They are aimed for people with existing clay knowledge and skills, and who are seeking expert guidance from our experienced teachers to undertake more self-directed work. Some classes also provide supported teaching for people with disabilities.
