In this comprehensive pottery workshop, you'll learn how to create your own unique ceramic pieces using various hand-building techniques. Throughout the sessions, you'll master essential methods including coiling and slab building while crafting personalised pottery items ranging from functional egg cups and plates to decorative vases and sculptures.
This creative activity welcomes all skill levels, from complete beginners to more experienced ceramic artists looking to refine their techniques. Many newcomers worry that pottery requires special talent, but with proper guidance and instruction, you'll discover that creating beautiful ceramic pieces is accessible and deeply satisfying.
During the workshop, you'll work with clay in a well-equipped studio setting, experiencing both the technical and artistic aspects of ceramics. Your instructor will share valuable tricks of the trade, time-saving shortcuts, and professional advice on which tools are essential and which can be cleverly fashioned from everyday household items. The instruction extends beyond basic forming techniques to include comprehensive information about the firing process, glazing options, and the distinctive Raku method.
By the end of this enlightening workshop, you'll have developed valuable ceramic-making skills in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, with plenty of individual attention to ensure you achieve exactly what you envision. You'll take home not only your finished ceramic creations but also the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring this versatile art form.

I completed a BA at Falmouth University in 2016 with a First in Contemporary Crafts. After a long period of ill health I am now able to work again and happily set up a ceramics studio and started making and specialising in Raku. I love the dynamic process and mixing glazes and forms. I’m planning to start working with sagar as well as stoneware. I also incorporate wood and metal in my pieces.
