You will be taught hand-building basic like how to make a pinch pot, how to coil with clay, how to attach handles, legs etc. and how to make sure your pieces won’t blow up in the kiln! You’ll leave having created whatever your heart desires, anything from a mug to a vase, a bowl to a platter… We are here to help you so let your imagination take over.

Your beautiful pieces will then be fired and glazed on your behalf for you to pick up around three-four weeks later in Kempston (MK42). Posting is also an option if you can’t collect your pieces in person. The glaze types will be chosen at the workshop.
