5 EVENINGS IN A ROW WORKSHOP | ALL LEVELS
The 5 evenings in a Row will guide you through the basics of hand building.
If this is your first time working with clay, this is a brilliant way to be introduced to clay as a material. You will begin your session by handling soft clay by rolling out coils to later use to make a pot of your choice. During the second session, your instructor will demonstrate how to use the slab roller compress clay to long sheets that can be cut and shaped to create larger scale work. You will continue to build on your skill and pots throughout the remains sessions, having the final session to refine and decorate the work.
For those who are more experienced, you are very welcome and we will explore the techniques you find most suited to your aims. We will then help you improve your skills and aim for those forms you wish to pursue.
The course allows you to keep 8 pots per student (size-dependent), if you do wish to keep further pots, you can pay £10 per extra vessel directly on the website under the ‘extra pot payment’ tab. This fee is to cover the clay, firings and glazing. We do however encourage students to be as critical of their work as possible and only keep what they know they will use, or is going to sit proudly somewhere to look at, as we want to aim to be as environmentally friendly as possible and clay can only be recycled pre their firings, but not after!

All classes will take place in the pottery at: 11-12 Crown Works, Temple Street, London, E26QQ
Price includes all materials used in the session.
You are able to keep a total of 5 pots (size dependant) from the session, this will have be finished off by our technicians once it has dried out (a few days after your class), then fired and glazed for you in a tin white glaze. Pots will be ready usually within three weeks, but sometimes longer depending on firing schedules. You will be notified by email when your pots are ready.
We ask that you pick up or arrange for your pots to be delivered to you (for an additional fee) within one month of the original pick up email being sent out. If your pieces have not been picked up or sent within this time-frame then we regret that we will have had to give to our local community, as we are so limited on shelf space.
A welcome email with further instructions about what to expect before your class is sent around a week before your class commences. This email will be sent to the email provided at booking.
We really hope that you enjoy your workshop with us!
