This course is suitable for complete beginners as well as anyone looking to develop their hand-building skills.
Over six weekly sessions, you will learn the core techniques needed to build confidently with clay. We will explore pinch pots, coiling, slab construction, joining, form, texture, surface decoration and glazing.
The course is practical, supportive and designed to give you room to experiment. You do not need any previous pottery experience.
Course length: Six weekly sessions (Plus one glaze session)
Session length: 2 hours 30 minutes
Group size: Maximum eight people
Price: £295 per person
Clay, standard glazes and firing for work made during the course are included, subject to the course guidelines.
Please wear comfortable clothes that you do not mind getting messy. Closed-toe shoes are recommended, and long nails can make working with clay more difficult.
Please note for the final glaze session this will fall on an open studio session.

To help everyone have a relaxed and enjoyable experience, please take a moment to read the information below before your first session.
What to wear
Pottery can be wonderfully messy! Please wear comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little clay on. Closed toe shoes are essential for safety, and we recommend tying back long hair. Short nails can also make working with clay a little easier, but don't worry if yours aren't!
What to bring
You don't need to bring any pottery equipment, we'll provide everything you need.
You may wish to bring:
· An apron (optional)
· A notebook and pen for making notes
· A reusable water bottle
What's included
Your course fee includes:
· Tuition across all six sessions
· Use of studio tools and equipment
· Clay for course projects
· Standard glazes
· Firing of work made as part of the course (within our fair use guidelines)
Arriving at the studio
Please arrive around 5–10 minutes before the start of your session so you have time to settle in before we begin.
If you're running late, don't worry just let us know if you can.
During the course
This course is designed for beginners, so no previous pottery experience is needed.
Everyone learns at a different pace, and our aim is to create a welcoming, supportive and relaxed studio where you can enjoy learning, experimenting and developing your confidence with clay.
Please be respectful of fellow students, tutors and the shared studio space so everyone has the best possible experience.
Accessibility
We want Henfield Pottery to be welcoming and accessible to as many people as possible.
If you have a disability, long term health condition, neurodivergence, injury or anything else that may affect your experience, please let us know before the course begins. Wherever reasonably possible, we'll work with you to make suitable adjustments.
Refreshments
Tea, coffee and biscuits are available during the session. You're also welcome to bring your own drinks as long as they're consumed in our break room.
Collecting your work
Pottery takes time! Your pieces will need to dry before being fired, glazed and fired again.
We'll let you know when your work is ready to collect. This is usually within 3–6 weeks of the final session, depending on drying times and kiln schedules.
Questions?
If you have any questions before your course begins, please get in touch.
