A practical course to learn a variety of ceramic techniques, including pinching, coiling, press moulding, slabbing and throwing.

Surface decoration at raw and bisque stages including use of slip colours, oxides and glazes will also be covered. You must bring your own apron and not arrive in your best clothes as you may get a little messy! Each session will finish with cleaning all tools and work areas used as required by health and safety
