Full Day Ceramics Sculpture 8 Session Course

Learn to express yourself through ceramics at this in-depth, beginner-friendly course.



8 x 5 hours Location Boughton-under-Blean Class size 1 to 10 guests   £400

In this comprehensive 8-week workshop, you’ll explore ceramic sculpture and learn how to bring three-dimensional, expressive forms to life in clay. Moving beyond functional pottery, you will dive into foundational sculptural methods—including hollow construction, slab building, coiling, and subtractive carving—alongside dynamic surface textures, mark-making, and finishing techniques to help you uncover your own artistic voice.
If you’re concerned about your skill level, there’s no need—this course is specifically designed for mixed abilities, welcoming complete beginners while offering technical depth and creative challenges for those with prior clay experience. The supportive studio environment provides the ideal space to experiment, build confidence, and take creative risks.
Throughout the course, you’ll work with sculpture-specific clays and professional modelling tools, learning how to manage structural integrity, wall thickness, and drying stages as your ideas develop from initial concepts into freestanding artworks.
The workshop features a hands-on, collaborative learning approach with tutor demonstrations, design guidance, and open group discussions. You’ll benefit from individual feedback tailored to your projects, as well as the inspiration and camaraderie of fellow students exploring their own creative directions.
By the end of the 8 weeks, you will take home several finished, fired ceramic sculptures and possess a solid grounding in sculptural ceramic techniques. This immersive experience will give you both the practical knowledge and the creative confidence to continue sculpting independently.
