Beginner's Handbuilt Pottery Class

4 Week class - Thursday 13, 20, 27 March, 3 April 2025

Join local artist Rebecca Prince in this fun beginner's pottery series running over four weeks. Rebecca will gently guide you through the process of handbuilding with clay. Techniques will vary and include joining, slab building, pinch pots, coil building and learning how to construct simple usable household items.

Four items maximum per participant will be fired and glazed by The Summit Community Centre in our own kiln. Further items will incur our firing and glazing fees which must be paid for prior to firing.
