This course has been designed to suit the needs of the individual. It is aimed at all levels of experience – beginners, improvers and the more advanced. Beginners are catered for in a sub group and the more experienced are tutored individually in pursuit of their personal projects.

On the course, the following ceramic skills are taught – comprehensive hand building methods (pinch, coil and slab, work with moulds, sculptural modelling and carving), basic throwing at the wheel, glazing and decoration.

Emphasis is put on fostering lively creative individuality. Using the skills they have been taught, students can expect to make attractive functional/decorative pots, objects, and if wished, sculptures.

Course materials are supplied by the school including clay, glazes, oxides etc, modelling tools and ceramic equipment.

Students need to bring a notebook and pen, an apron or old shirt and a small towel (hand cream is advised if you have dry skin). During the course, students will be encouraged to collect personally interesting reference images and find objects and cloths/fabrics for making texture in their own work.
