Discover the way hands and the wheel can be used together to create beautiful ceramic forms, both functional and sculptural.
You’ll start with digging up our local red clay from the river and discovering the difference between many types of local and purchased clay. Follow the process as it goes from being a lump to art, first with a range of hand-building techniques such as slab-building, press-moulding, pinching and coiling. You’ll follow on with the rewarding skill of throwing on the potter’s wheel, and use trimming tools to give your works a refined shape and texture.
