Month Foundation Course - August Intensive
We are incredibly excited to announce the launch of our one month long Crown Works Summer Foundation Course! You’ve asked, so we are delivering!
We have designed this intensive programme, taking place five days a week (Monday to Friday) over the month of August, to build an excellent technical base in ceramics and develop each student’s confidence in the direction they wish to take their practice. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this course offers a comprehensive and hands-on approach to pottery.
Guided by a selection of our incredibly skilled instructors, you’ll start with all the fundamentals of handbuilding and throwing before progressing to specialised techniques such as making jars, oval forms, plates, and complex vessels such as teapots. Each technique will be paired with an instructor that will bring their own expertise to each discipline, and we have carefully constructed the programme to ensure you will progress rapidly in both thinking and skill level.
The course also includes an introduction to glaze chemistry, where you’ll mix your own glazes, deepening your understanding of surface finishes, firing temperatures, kiln loading, and maintenance.
You will also gain a thorough insight into the workings of a busy studio, learning how to reclaim, pug, and manage your workflow, as well as becoming aware of the suppliers we most recommend. There will also be workshops on how to price your work and the differing avenues in which you could exhibit and sell your own work moving forwards.
Throughout the dates your course covers, you will also benefit from a 15 per cent discount on all other courses taking place during your time at the studio, thereby allowing you to pick and choose from any of our weekend masterclasses and other ongoing courses you wish to explore.
The course includes the firing of 40 of your best works and in total you will receive 120 hours of expert tuition.

Running during the month of August from 10:00 am to 17:00 pm Monday to Friday.
The price covers all materials, glazes and firings of 40 works. You can also keep further works at £10 an additional piece.

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 maximum of 40 pots from the course. 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 three weeka before your class commences. This email will be sent to the email provided at booking.
We really hope that you enjoy your Foundation course with us!
