These sessions are designed for returning students who have completed our foundational courses such as the 4x Week Complete Throwing Basics Course or the Wheel Throwing Taster. They are also suitable for individuals with prior pottery experience. Casual classes offer a flexible learning environment where you can refine your skills, work on personal projects, and receive guidance from our expert instructors.
Tasters: A One-Time Pottery Experience
If you’re curious about pottery but not ready to commit to a full course, our Tasters provide an all-inclusive, once-off experience. Choose between Throwing or Handbuilding sessions and immerse yourself in the process of creating with clay. These taster classes are a fantastic way to explore the basics of pottery in a fun and relaxed setting. All materials and tools are provided, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm.
Hand Building: Exploring the Basics
Our Hand Building classes are perfect for those who prefer creating pottery without the use of a wheel. These sessions focus on traditional hand building techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Learn how to shape and mold clay into unique pieces using just your hands and a few simple tools. Hand building offers endless possibilities for creativity and is an excellent way to develop a deeper understanding of the material.
4x Week Course: Complete Throwing Basics
For beginners looking to build a strong foundation in pottery, our 4x Week Complete Throwing Basics Course is the perfect starting point. Over the course of four weeks, you will learn the essential techniques of wheel throwing. From centering and pulling up walls to shaping and trimming, this comprehensive course covers all the basics. By the end of the course, you will have created a collection of your own pottery pieces and gained the confidence to continue your pottery journey.
Studio Time: Freedom to Create
For experienced potters who need space and resources to work on their projects, our Studio Time offers access to our fully equipped pottery studio. Utilize our facilities and take advantage of included dipping glazes to complete your pieces. Studio Time provides the freedom to work independently while still having access to our supportive community and resources.
Friday Wheel & Wine Social: Pottery with a Twist
Our Friday Wheel & Wine Social is a unique and enjoyable way to unwind at the end of the week. This social wheel throwing class is open to both Beginners Wheel Tasters and regular Casual students.
