This 2 hour drop in session is designed for those who have completed our 6-week Beginners’ Course - or a beginners’ course elsewhere - within the last 6 weeks and would like to continue developing their practice with guided tuition.
Within the session, there is no fixed lesson plan. Expect a relaxed, supportive atmosphere with plenty of time for experimentation. You are free to use all studio equipment, including the pottery wheels, slab roller and moulds. There are 5 pottery wheels available, plus ample hand-building space.
With continued practice and support, you’ll build confidence, refine your skills and progress in your pottery journey.
This is not suitable for complete beginners.
If you’re new to ceramics, consider our Wednesday or Thursday evening 6-week Introduction to Pottery course.
How It Works
Join me on Mondays for guided studio sessions. You may arrive at any time between 3:00pm and 6:00pm. Sessions are 2 hours long*. The studio closes at 8:00pm.
Dates
This course runs on a rolling basis. You may come in on any Monday (subject to availability).
Closure times/dates:
The studio will be closed on 31st August.
Additional Information
Ceramics can be surprisingly physical. A reasonable level of hand dexterity and grip strength is required. If you have any concerns, please get in touch before booking.
Ages 16+. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.
The studio is on a light industrial site, and therefore some noise is to be expected from neighbouring units during weekday hours before 5pm.
The studio can be cold in cooler weather. Heaters are provided, but please dress warmly.
Studio glazes and oxides are included (not underglazes). Work will be glazed and fired after your final session and will be ready to collect 2-4 weeks later. Please wait for a confirmation email before collecting.
Finished items will be kept for 14 days after notification, after which they will be disposed of due to limited storage space.

Photography & Recording
You're welcome to take a few quick photos or short video clips of your own work for personal use or social media, provided it doesn't disrupt the class or capture other participants without their permission.
To protect the learning experience and everyone's privacy, recording substantial parts of a class, audio recording, livestreaming, or using wearable recording devices (including Meta smart glasses) is not permitted.
