What will I learn? 

Our Pottery Taster Sessions are designed to give complete beginners an introduction to the medium of clay. Your tutor will guide you through the process of creating a stoneware tile, and various techniques to add texture, and slip decoration. You may also use this technique to create a slab- built soap dish or tea light holder. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to have  a go on the potter’s wheel.

Who is this aimed at?

This workshop is aimed at complete beginners.

What will I take away?

You will be able to make 2 pieces (either hand-built or thrown) to be fired. Our studio team will glaze and fire these for you and they will be ready to collect from Oxcombe 5 weeks post-workshop. Extra pots and postage are available at an additional cost.

 What do I need to bring?
