Adult Evening Session

Service Description

During these sessions you will have full access to the studio, including the potters wheels. These classes suit beginners as well as more experienced potters, and we can help guide you whatever your skill level. You are free to work independently on your own projects week by week or we can offer projects and inspiration for you to follow. How the session works? You have the option to complete your piece in a single session. This includes forming your clay and decorating it using coloured slips. If you prefer a more natural look, you can leave your piece unpainted—we will finish it with a clear glaze, resulting in a smooth, shiny, cream-coloured surface. Painted pieces will be beautifully vibrant with a glossy finish after firing. For those who would like to take more time, we offer the option to return and continue working on your pottery across multiple sessions. We can carefully wrap and store your work in a damp environment for up to 6 months, allowing you to develop your pieces at your own pace. If you choose, your work can be bisque fired during this storage period. You can then come back to glaze your pieces using our selection of underglazes and glazes. You’re also welcome to bring and use your own materials in the studio. We use earthenware clay and fire all work to 1100°C. Each session includes up to 4kg of clay per person, giving you plenty of material to explore your ideas. If you’d like to use more, additional clay is available at £5 per kilogram. If you’d like more information about any part of the process, please don’t hesitate to get in touch—we’re always happy to help.
