Week One

Learn how to identify and collect clay from the landscape.  You’ll begin the process of getting it ready to use, and we'll take a look at the pit fire where we will finish your pots in a few weeks.

Week 2

Using your wild clay, you will shape and make a couple of items, using techniques such as coiling, pinching, slab making and kurinuki.

​Week 3

At this stage your items will be ready for final shaping and finishing off.

​Week 4

We will get the pit ready and load it with your items. The process of firing takes 8 - 12 hours so during this time we will experiment with making a wood ash glaze.
