What you'll do

Whether you're a complete beginner looking for a fascinating new hobby or you've tried pottery before and want to learn more about it, this six-week ceramics course will give you a solid foundation in crafting with clay, building up to being able to work independently.

Hosted by experienced potter Ronaldo Wiltshire, you'll learn something new about ceramics in each session, from properly preparing your clay to different glazing techniques to give your finished pieces that professional touch.

During the course, you'll learn about:

Centring clay.
Throwing vessels (such as bowls, cylinders, jars and vases).
Trimming.
Marbling.
Paper resist.
Mocha diffusion.
Glaze application.

Working in Ronaldo's well-equipped studio, you'll enjoy a combination of hands-on practice with informative demonstrations, giving you a brilliant overview of the full process of making your own ceramics. By the end of the course you'll be filled with creative inspiration, with plenty of new skills under your belt and some gorgeous handmade ceramics to show for it.

Please note: there will be an additional charge of £2 per 1lb of clay used. Pieces will be weighed at the leather hard stage.

I am a ceramic artist working and living in London. I am a tutor at Morley North Kensington College and I also run ceramic workshops from my studio in northwest London. In January 2020 I was a participant in the Great Pottery Throw Down which aired on Channel 4 -- it was a fantastic experience!

I have always had a great passion for art! As an artist, I create functional and decorative ceramic art. Most of my pieces are glazed using my own recipes, often inspired by the colours in the countryside of Barbados where I grew up.
