Service Description

Autumn Term A beginner/learners 7 week course on Wednesday mornings 9.30 - 11..30am Starts on Weds 11th September with the final week on Wednesday 23rd October All materials, firing and glazing services are provided. Set in my garden, the Lost Garden Studio is a haven - surrounded by trees and plants, the odd fox and lots of birds. I do heat the studio but I suggest wearing layers and clothes you don't mind getting clay on. You will spend two hours a week exploring stoneware clay and throughout the course, you could try various building techniques, decorating and glazing. You will be able to hand-build a variety of pottery which could include pinching, coiling, slab building or sculpting. I also have one pottery wheel on which we'll work through throwing small bowls, cups or plates. As my classes are small you will receive plenty of time with me as well as 121 tuition on the wheel. Some pots will be fired ready for glazing too, so you will experience various decorating and glazing techniques too. My classes are fun, informal and relaxed. Ideally, you would bring along ideas of what you would like to hand build- there is no set 'curriculum' of what to make, so you could think about a small project to start with and then let the creative juices flow from there. If not please don't worry, just getting your hands into clay often kickstarts the creativity! Booking Please book online. You will receive a confirmation email that will give you further essential information about your class.
