What you'll do
This course is perfect for beginners who enjoyed the taster class and are interested in developing confidence in their pottery skills, or for those who are looking for an engaging, creative activity over the course of a few weeks! This 8-week course offers more taught practise time on the wheel, and hence our students will leave with strong confidence in their potting abilities.Beginner classes are a mix of closely guided tutoring and self-directed development. 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 so wish and discuss with the tutor.What follows is a rough outline of what will be taught week to week:
- Week 1 - Practicing the fundamentals of throwing
- Week 2 - Trimming work made in the first class
- Week 3 - Throwing with larger amounts of clay, coning, wedging
- Week 4 - Trimming and glazing
- Week 5 - Working on your project
- Week 6 - Working on your project
- Week 7 - Finishing off your project
- Week 8 - Glazing

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.
