Pottery

Clay is a lovely natural resource to work with.

Its so tactile (and forgiving !
) …

and it’s a great way to lose yourself, whether it is only 10 minutes on the pottery wheel or in a 2 day workshop.

I offer ½ day, 1 & 2 day workshops in Pottery.

During the workshops you’ll become familiar with the various making techniques :-

Pinch Pots
Coiling
Slab Work
Pottery Wheel

The most well known of these techniques is

‘Throwing on the Pottery Wheel’ ….

always guaranteed to be great fun by those doing 
 …
and those watching !!!

You will also learn how to texture and decorate your pottery pieces.

At the end of the workshop you will chose one piece for me to fire and glaze,

(which can be collected at a later date).

I always encourage participants to take all other pieces with them for firing with a local potter.

Hopefully the workshop will give you enough of a taster to want to continue this craft on the mainland.
