Fun with Clay

Clay Club Workshops

  • Welcome to the Clay Club’s taster workshops—a hands-on experience on the pottery wheel or handbuilding and sculpture.

Take one or both to discover which pottery approach you prefer.

Throwing

A 2,5 hour full immersion event, be prepared to get dirty!

We will demonstrate and guide you to making 2 vessels.

When they are dry we will trim and fire for you with the glaze of your choice.

Handbuilding

This is a slower more meditative process of 3 hours. Where we teach you techniques that can even be continued at home.

You can make 2 pieces and after a short break for them to harden the fun of decorating starts.

You can carve or stamp patterns and then paint your pieces with beautiful coloured glazes. 

Pick up

Remember to write your name on the bottom and take a picture.

In 3 weeks they will be fired and ready for pick up.

What to expect?

Our teachers are certified and trained as ceramicists and have many years of experience teaching at all levels.

What is handbuilding?

Begin your pottery journey by exploring handbuilding techniques such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Learn how to join clay pieces, carve details, and decorate using engobes and slips to add personal flair to your work. These techniques can also be continued at home.

Throwing on a Wheel

Dive into a hands-on wheel-throwing session where you'll learn to wedge, center, and shape clay into basic forms like cylinders. A workshop is a good place to start but throwing is best learned in a multi week course. It takes around 40 hours of practice to build confidence and skill

Paint your Pot!

We end all workshops with decorating..everyones favourite part.
Using coloured glazes, brushes, stamps and creativity you make your piece your own.
Love decorating and want to do more? You can choose a piece of high quality stoneware bisque and paint using our huge range of glazes. We will high fire it for you so that it is durable and beautiful.
