Ceramics Hand Building Course

Participants will explore simple hand-building techniques to create functional and decorative ceramic pieces, such as small vases, bowls, plates and sculptural forms. The focus is on process rather than perfection - allowing time to slow down, work with the hands, and enjoy the tactile nature of clay.

Sessions are guided and accessible, with plenty of space for individual expression and experimentation. The course is suitable for beginners as well as those with some prior experience who are looking to reconnect with clay in a relaxed, welcoming environment.

No previous ceramics experience is required. All instruction is invitational, and participants are encouraged to work at their own pace.

Introduction to basic hand-building techniques, surface texture, and form. Participants will work with clay through guided demonstrations and supported independent making time.

This course provides an opportunity to:

• learn foundational ceramic hand-building skills
• explore texture, shape and form
• engage in a mindful, hands-on creative process
• create unique ceramic pieces to keep

The emphasis is on creating a calm, supportive space where participants can enjoy the rhythm of making with clay.

All levels welcome. Firing and Glaze firing included in the price.
