Taster Hand Building Class

Get to grips with clay hand building at this pottery workshop in Eastbourne.



2 hours Location Eastbourne Class size 1 to 6 (public classes), 1 to 12   £60

Get your hands on some clay and discover the joy of hand-building in this relaxed, two-hour pottery taster workshop. It's a friendly, low-pressure introduction made for first-timers and creative explorers, and a great way to try pottery before committing to a longer course.
With a friendly teacher guiding you step by step, you'll learn the fundamental techniques of pinching, coiling and slab building as you shape your very own mug. Then comes the fun part: adding unique textures and details to make it one-of-a-kind.
All materials and tools are provided, so you can just show up, switch off and enjoy a couple of hours of feel-good making.
You'll leave with a handmade keepsake that's uniquely yours, and the spark to keep exploring what you can create with clay.
