one – off taster sessions
Our one-off taster sessions are made for people who have never touched clay before, but not a problem if you’ve dabbled and know some basics. It’s fun, messy and there’s plenty of hand building, plus throwing on the wheel.
*If none of our available dates suit you, we can add you to our mailing list for future taster sessions! Please email: info@thekilnrooms.com
You’ll learn the basics of throwing on a wheel, plus 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.
Taster sessions are 4.5 hours long. There are a maximum of 14 people in a class, with at least 2 experienced teachers taking care of the group.
One-off Taster sessions cost £110 per person, this includes all materials and firings, meaning that there are no additional costs.
Vouchers: We also offer vouchers for these courses, you can find more info on our vouchers here.
