12 x week course: Saturdays, 10am - 1pm, 31st October - 23rd January (no class on 26th December - Christmas break)

People of all abilities are welcome. While the course is designed to build beginner skills, teaching is tailored to individual experience and confidence.

Classes take place in a studio space designed specifically for teaching these sessions.

Over the first 4–5 weeks you will cover core techniques including wheel-throwing, hand-building, mould work, decorating and glazing. After this, you’ll be encouraged to develop your own projects with guidance from the teacher and the group.

This course will be led by Tessa who is an award-winning artist with over twenty years’ experience working with clay and glaze and teaching since 2005. She combines deep expertise with a warm, infectious energy, encouraging students to take real pleasure in making while pushing their work further.

In the event of illness or annual leave, one of our other experienced teachers would lead the session in her place.

The cost of a 12-week course in Farringdon is £415. Materials, glazing and firing are charged at £5 per kg of finished work (for example, a teacup is approximately £1).

All 12-week course participants have booking access to optional drop-in sessions, offering additional studio time outside class hours - ideal for those who would like extra practice without committing to full membership.

If you miss a class or arrive late, we are unable to reschedule sessions or provide alternative studio time, as courses run at fixed times to cover the cost of tuition.

Refunds:
