Private Clay Taster Session
A great experience for you and a few mates or a date night! You’ll have the studio all to yourselves.
This class is suitable for those who have little or no previous experience with clay. It’s a good chance to learn the basics and experiment with different ways to hand build.
See full details below.
You’ll get a truly unique and personalised experience and have the studio all to yourselves. This workshop is great for complete beginners or those who have tried pottery before.
What will happen on the day:
You’ll get an introduction to the studio and I’ll demonstrate various hand-building techniques. Each person then gets started experimenting with their own pieces using whichever technique you wish. I’m on hand to answer any questions and give guidance to suit each persons needs. Clay is such a versatile material so each person creates really unique pieces.
What's included in the class:
All clay, materials and firings are included. Coffee and tea will be available throughout the session. At the end of the class you choose the piece you'd like to keep. I’ll glaze it in white and fire it for you. Your finished piece will normally be ready to collect within 4-6 weeks (slightly longer during busy periods). Postal delivery of your pieces is included in the price so your creation will reach you safely wherever you are!
What to wear:
Anything comfortable which you're happy to get messy in.
Where:
The course will be held at my studio in Deptford, Studio AL02, Alloy House, Moulding Lane, London SE14 6BH.
Cancellation / Refunds:
Classes are non-refundable and non-transferable, so please make sure you can make the day before you book. Thanks for your understanding. If I need to cancel a session I’ll re-arrange or refund it in full for you, whichever you prefer. If you arrive more than 30 min after the scheduled start of your class it will be cancelled and not be rescheduled/refunded.
1-2-1 Lessons
Want some private tuition? This one’s for you. Come learn how to hand build in 2hr sessions 1-2-1.
I’m very happy to offer one-to-one sessions if you’d like to tailor your learning and get maximum flexibility. It means we can decide together what you learn and how much time you spend on each hand building technique. We’ll talk through what you’d like to try or go through a few different techniques (coiling, pinch pots, slab building) so you can discover them all.
No experience is needed; you can be a total beginner or someone who’s tried a little pottery before.
Included is all the materials, glaze and firing of your work. There is a range of glazes to choose from, which vary according to availablity. If you book a single session, then I’ll glaze and fire your work for you. If you book 2 or more lessons, we can use the final session for you to glaze your own work if you’d like to try this (it is fun!), but it’s totally up to you! If you don’t fancy glazing, I’ll glaze your work for you.
Coffee and tea will be available throughout. Occasionally I bring some home baking for us.
Your final pieces are usually ready to collect from my studio in 4-6 weeks (slightly longer during busy periods). Postal delivery is included in the price, so your creations will reach you safely wherever you are.
The course will be held at my studio in Deptford, Studio AL02, Alloy House, Moulding Lane, London SE14 6BH.
Please Note:
This is a hand-building course and does not include throwing on the wheel.
Clay can be messy, so please wear clothes and shoes that you’re happy to get a little mucky in.
