This course is focused on giving students the fundamental skills, knowledge and hands on experience of working with clay with an experienced and highly skilled tutor.

The flexibility of handbuilding with clay offers endless opportunities for creating a variety of forms, varying from functional to sculptural.

Each week a method will be demonstrated and supervised by the tutor to achieve various outcomes. Intermediate and experienced students can choose to follow the method with the class or discuss their intended project with the tutor and work at their own pace with assistance from the tutor as required.

Materials and firing costs are incorporated into the total course fee: a bag of stoneware clay, one bisque firing, one glaze firing.
