taster sessions & courses
For complete beginners these classes provide an insight into the possibilities of working with clay.
One-off taster sessions: We introduce people to throwing on a wheel and a range of hand building skills through demonstrations and plenty of hands on exercises. We then fire and glaze 3-4 pieces of work that you make, which can be collected 3-4 weeks later (it’s a lengthy firing process!). We also walk you through other skills such as decorating and how glazing works, providing a good understanding of what goes on in a ceramics studio. Sessions are 4.5 hours long, & cost £110 pp, this includes all materials and firings, meaning that there are no additional costs. There are a maximum of 14 people in a class with at least 2 experienced teachers taking care of the group.

These sessions will be held in the class area of The Kiln Rooms where we create a comfortable, fun environment for everyone to enjoy. No need to bring anything with you as we’ll provide all materials, tools, aprons and equipment needed. There are between 10-12 people on a class.

Materials are included in the cost of our taster sessions and taster course, meaning there are NO additional costs.
