Learn the fundamentals of hand-building with clay and explore the creative possibilities of this versatile medium in a fun, relaxed, and friendly studio environment.

Suitable for beginners, this course provides students with the fundamental skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience of working with clay under the guidance of an experienced and skilled tutor. The flexibility of hand-building offers endless opportunities for creating a wide variety of forms, from functional ware to sculptural pieces.

Each week, a different technique will be demonstrated and supervised by the tutor, allowing students to develop new skills and achieve a range of creative outcomes.

Intermediate and experienced students may choose to follow the weekly project or discuss their own ideas with the tutor and work independently at their own pace, with guidance and support provided as required.
