Throwing weekend
A weekend course designed to teach you the basics or to really improve your throwing skills.

This class is suitable for everyone, from beginners to experienced throwers.

Glaze weekend
This course is specially designed for people who have access to an electric kiln and are able to fire the tests they will make in this course to midfire or stoneware temperatures. It is a weekend course to introduce you to glaze theory and simple ways to start testing and developing your own glazes. Participants will be making their own tests, tailored to the temperature that they fire to. It will also focus on understanding the process of firing and how to deal with possible glaze faults.
March 21st and 22nd 10am to 4pm FULLY BOOKED
Rock Glaze Course
I will be running a 4 day courser people wanting to develop glazes from found materials - rock, clay and ash. It will introduce you to glaze theory, geology for potters, and ways to start testing and developing your own glazes. Participants will be making their own tests, which will be fired in the middle of the course. I will be announcing dates in Spring 2026.
Weekend classes run from 10am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday. I provide coffee, teas and biscuits throughout the weekend. I make a vegetarian soup for lunch but participants should bring a sandwich or something else for their lunch.
