What you'll do
Develop confidence in your pottery skills with this engaging and creative six-week course in Deptford. Get wrist-deep in the clay and experience the joys of making your own DIY ceramics.
This course is a mix of closely guided teaching and self-directed development. If you've enjoyed a taster pottery class in the past and wanted to refine your skills on the pottery wheel, this is a great stepping stone to refining your talent.
What follows is a rough outline of what will be taught week to week:
- Week 1: Practising the fundamentals of throwing
- Week 2: Practising the fundamentals of throwing
- Week 3: Trimming, handle pulling, handbuilding
- Week 4: Throwing with larger amounts of clay, coning, wedging
- Week 5: Trimming, handbuilding
- Week 6: Glazing
Students will expand upon their previous knowledge of clay and also learn about clay manipulation at several stages in the process, including turning and glazing. Students will have ample time to practise throwing at the wheel and can elect to opt for handbuilding if they wish and discuss it with the tutor.
We aim to make sure students leave with more skills, confidence, and several pieces of work that are truly handmade by themselves from start to finish.
Please note: We understand that a 6-week commitment is a big ask, and we try to be accommodating with making up for lost class time in the form of drop-ins. However, please note that if you are unable to attend the 1st, 2nd, or 6th lessons, we are unable to provide adequate catch-up tuition to bring you to the level of your peers. These are the classes where you learn the fundamentals, so please consider this before booking onto a course!

Your teacher
A rare and hidden pottery Eden in the heart of east London, Stoke Newington. Cernamic studio in Stoke Newington was founded, created, and built during the first lockdown of the pandemic, through hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. Nam and Susi two professional ceramicists run this fun and affordable pottery studio open for everyone from all walks of life.
Nam Tran is an award-winning practitioner who gives lectures and demos at universities and exhibits internationally. A ceramic lecturer and head of the departments in design and multi-media with Kensington and Chelsea college. Nam specialises in wheel-thrown raku, bringing years of experience and craftsmanship to every object made.
Tran's work is focused primarily on exploring the physical properties of clay and material experimentation is a strong characteristic of his work. He has been developing making enclosed forms that are much stronger than open forms and therefore resonates well with the alternative firing technique he uses. His work is dominated by thrown pieces that subtly echo the urban roots and conceptual design. Nam Tran first made pots as a teenager on a wheel in his own bedroom and remembers being captivated by the experience. With his unique alternatives methods and approach to ceramics, Nam Tran identifies rules and manipulates and bends them.
