Course Overview

Have you always fancied having a go at making your own pottery? Has The Great Pottery Throwdown inspired you to try and make your own hand-built creation? This beginner’s course is a practical, semi structured course with demonstrations and set projects are initially worked through (increasing in difficulty) to take you through the basic hand building techniques. You will also learn how to decorate your piece with techniques such as applying slip, sgraffito and mark making. If you would like to explore your own projects and not attend a structured course, then please look at our intermediate/advanced (Pottery and Sculpture Design workshop) course is for you.

You will need

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear that you do not mind getting dirty and/or bring your own apron. A small hand towel may also be useful.

What next?

You could move on to the Pottery and Sculpture Design Workshop course which is aimed at more confident potters who are working on their own project. Or you could expand your craft skills with other courses such as dressmaking or upholstery.
