The workshop will run over 3 week nights

Week One - Wednesday 12th Feb 25 - Make something round - 3 Hours
Introduction to clay, the basics then a chance to make one of the following:   Mug, Vase, Utensil Holder, Tea Light Candle holder/oil burner

Week Two - Wednesday 19th Feb 25 - Make something square (ish) - 3 Hours
Tonight you will make something with flat walls.   You will be able to make one of the following:  Tea Light House, Lidded Box, Square Vase/Utensil Holder

Week 3 - Glazing 5th March 25 - approx 3 1/2 hours
This will be held 2 weeks after Week 2.   In this workshop you will learn how to use underglaze and glaze.

Clay used for these workshops is a speckled stoneware.  

Price includes all materials and tools needed, firing all your items as well as glaze etc

Your finished items will be available approximately 2 weeks after the glazing workshop.

This is a small class with a maximum of 6 people.  

Available for ages 15 plus

For this course if you miss a week there will be no make up days available

Please wear clothes you don't mind getting grubby, or bring an apron.   It is advisable to have reasonably short nails when working with clay.  If you do have nails we can work around it but you might find that  you need to clean up the clay a bit more (even small nails will leave marks as we make the items).

Refreshment will be provided but feel free to BYO if you would like a wee dabble during the class.

Please also be aware that due to the nature of pottery and firing x 2 means that sometimes things don't work out as they should.  I dry mugs super slowly but sometimes cracks etc still form.   It happens, it still happens to me and any potter you talk too will say the same.   I will do my utmost best and handle all your mugs with care but please be aware due to the nature of the craft there may be a breakage.   I really hope not, but sometimes it just happens.
