This five week course will teach you the fundamentals of the pottery techniques.

5 consecutive Thursdays at either 10am till 12:30pm or 6pm till 8.30pm

This five week course will teach you the fundamentals of the pottery techniques of throwing, hand-building, glazing and Raku. Your time will be balanced between slab, press-moulding, and hand-building, glazing/decorating with coloured slips and throwing.

The throwing element of the course is one to one, progressing from ‘tapas’ dishes through to bowls and mugs/jugs.

You will have the opportunity to be very hands on and make a range of items to your own design in all the techniques such as tableware, jewellery, vessels, sculpture, tiles etc.

There will also be an opportunity to do an outdoor ‘Raku’ firing during one of the sessions, which is a highlight of the course.

The course is designed to be fun and therapeutic as well as sociable – make some beautiful ceramics and some new friends. Courses take place at the beautiful Vallis Farm, a bio dynamic organic farm and community hub just outside of the vibrant Somerset town of Frome.
