2.5 hours Class size 1 to 30 guests    

  £40 - £54 (£40 for Public class Weekday; £45 for Public Class Weekend; £54 for Private Class) (PayPal Pay in 3 available)

Join us for a fun, creative, and relaxing evening to explore 3 hand-building techniques pinching, coiling, and slab-building. Using the combined skills you can then create up to 2 pieces, which will then be bisque-fired, dipped in our beautiful earthenware glazes, and fired again. The results are stunning! You receive your posted creations within 4-6 weeks, imagine the magical moment when you open your box to reveal the results!
The vessels/pots can be for functional ware or try small sculptural work. You are welcome to come with your own ideas during the mindful 2.5 hours of making with the full support of an experienced ceramic tutor to help you realise your creative design ideas. No experience is necessary as the session is beginner-friendly as well for the more advanced participants.
