Discover the joy of creating with clay in this relaxed, hands‑on 4‑week handbuilding course. Designed for complete beginners as well as those looking to deepen their skills, this course guides you through the foundational techniques of working with clay while giving you plenty of space to explore your own creative style and have fun.
Each week focuses on a new skill, building your confidence as you create a small collection of handmade pieces. All materials, tools, and firings are included — just bring your curiosity and a willingness to get your hands a little muddy.
At the end of the 4 weeks you can select your 3 favourite pieces for firing and either book a short glaze course or choose your preferred glaze colour and collect your pieces at a later date.
Learn how to finish your bisque fired pieces with a selection of colourful glazes and underglazes.
