Looking to kickstart a new hobby? Come along and build a foundation of ceramic skills to start practising and creating your own beautiful ceramic pieces.
This London pottery course provides six sessions running through all hand-building techniques, slip casting, throwing on the wheel, slab building, hand sculpting with coils and decorating with glazes and slips.
Pottery course outline:
Week 1 : Intro to clay - what can be done at pottery studios and small manufacturing processes, how it works from start to finish, and also the health and safety in the studio. Pinching pots is the first technique you get your teeth into. Finishing off with glaze samples for future use.
Week 2: Preparing the perfect slab for structural creations. Coiling vessels or sculptures!
Week 3: Slab building with your prepared slabs! Get geometric-n-groovy.
Week 4: Throwing and slip casting, we will show you how to throw on the wheel. We believe that throwing is a skill that evolves at your own pace and with lots of practice, after the demo you can practice more on the wheel if you wish so or can carry on your hand-build pieces if that’s what you enjoy most.
Exploring the industrial process of casting a bowl or cup with a ready-made plaster mould! You will learn how to decorate straight from a mould and cast your first manufactured-like piece of tableware!
Week 5: Decorating, learning the possibilities in decorating, finishing your pieces. use colour underglazes or colour slips to add colours. Press on marks, and carve out patterns. the possibilities are endless, all you need is your own inspiration
Week 6: Finally Glazing! You’ll be glazing all your pieces either with brush-on or pouring or dipping techniques depending on the shape and size of your pieces.
Clay and glaze are included but firing is at £1.50/ litre (size of 2 pint glass), payable in cash or card at collection.
Your friendly teacher will make sure all your pieces are glazed and fired, which takes three to four weeks – unless you are returning for open access to continue working on your pieces.
At the end of these six pottery classes in London, you'll leave with new knowledge, inspiration for your clay journey, and even new friends who share your clay love!
*After the full course you are welcome to join our Open access for free (worth £30 induction). Open access is charged at £10 per hour including clay and glazes (firing pieces are added costs), for you to make full use of our facility independently at your own pace but without our guidance. Open access has flexible times!
