Workshops

A great introduction to pottery and working with clay. In these workshop sessions I'll take you through the various techinques for hand-building, giving you the skills required to start creating your own pieces, in a fun and relaxed group environment.

Get together with a group of friends, or come along and meet new ones.

Workshop One: Bowl Hand-Building

Join me in a group workshop where, in a three-hour session, you’ll learn the basic principles of hand-building with clay, including techniques such as pinching, coiling, and carving to create a simple vessel. These techniques are suitable for all skill levels, whether you're beginning your journey with clay or have some prior experience. I will provide a basic skills demonstration of my techniques, and then one-on-one support as you progress through the various stages of making your vessel.
