This course consists of 10 sessions.
Each session is a lesson of 3 hours (including cleaning up at the end of the lesson) and class capacity is 10 people per class.
Session 1: kicks off with an introduction to ceramic materials and the processes of making and firing ceramics, as well as Health & Safety in the studio. You will learn how to prepare your clay and start working on your first project.
Sessions 2-7: Students continue to work on their projects while the teacher introduces new techniques to build on your skills, including hand-building, wheel throwing and glazing.
Session 8: Last chance to start new pieces. After this session, you can still practise your making skills to improve, however it is not possible to finish and glaze fire those pots.
Sessions 9-10: are dedicated to glazing your pots. These are usually ready to be collected 2-3 weeks after the end of your course.
Please be sure that you can attend all of the scheduled lesson dates before you sign up. It's particularly important that you attend the first two and the final sessions, otherwise you may struggle to keep up with the rest of the group or end up with unfinished projects at the end of the course. It is not possible to get extra sessions if you do not attend your scheduled lesson.
Materials
We provide all necessary materials for the course. If you'd like your clay to be fired, there's a charge of £5 per kilogram. Students work with buff & craft crank stoneware clays and have access to a wide selection of tools, slips, underglazes, and moulds.You can also use our range of studio-mixed glazes.
What to bring
Please be aware that aprons will not be provided, so you are welcome to bring your own if you wish.
What if I missed the class ?
It's not a big deal to miss a class or two during the course. Highly recommend to attend the first two sessions, as they're harder to catch up on. We understand you might have other commitments, and your teacher will help you catch up when you're back. Just note that we can't offer make-up classes or class swaps once the course begins, as our classes are full.
