POTTERY CLASS: introduction to handbuilding. One session, 3 hrs / Make 3 items / Timing to suit you.

🪴 This is a one session private class to introduce hand building skills via the making of three functional items. 3 hours long.

🪴 The price is for one [£110] or two people [£160], and held at my riverside studio near Woolwich. (Thamesside Studios, https://www.thames-sidestudios.co.uk)

🪴 at a time to suit you, evenings or weekends are not a problem.

🪴 Four or six can also be taught in an additional space on site which I can book.
🥂Make it festive and bring snacks & drinks.

Enjoy quiet and close tuition alone or as a pair in my studio; Dads & daughters, couples, sisters, hens, respite from
stress for well-being, special occasions, you decide! You’ll use studio materials and tools and the studio workspace & we’ll work together carefully to make three homewares that would make lovely gifts, or to be proudly kept, robust enough for daily use.

We’ll work with this calming organic material with fundamental skills but whilst I explain the nuances of material & technique so as to achieve really professional results. You'll learn set up, cutting & construction using templates marking, stamping and building to make a dish and a mug. Then we’ll look at the sgraffito technique (scratching through a contrasting layer of slip) and make fast bold marks and shapes onto a plate. I will then fire & glaze your work to your instruction.

🪴 Price includes the session, all materials & use of tools, finishing after bisque, & glazing*

🪴 Postage, collection or delivery to be arranged.

🪴 DBS checked & certified, public liability insured.

🪴 You tell me when you’d like to come & subject to my availability I can look at daytimes, evenings, or weekends to suit you. Please contact me before purchase if you need a very specific date or timing. All ages welcome, my workbench is 90cms high, ensure your child is tall enough. Do let me know if standing for three hours is problematic, and I do have a seat you can rest in. I have run this class as a seated activity before for one if this is required. Level access and toilet next door.

🪴 Also available for more than two people at a time in a different space [which I hire & book] at Thamesside Studios, do let me know how many you're intending to book for and I can quote & check this availability.

🪴 *Cancellation: please give me as much notice as you can, I start prepping on this 7 days beforehand. Within 48 hours I will do my best to re-sell the place and refund but if this isn't possible I cannot refund, please gift your place to family or friend if you can*

I really look forward to sharing some clay joy! #ClayIsOurWay
