Our Introduction to Ceramics taster classes are perfect for those wishing to embark upon their ceramic journey and to discover the joy of working with clay as a medium. This 2.5 hour class (includes time for cleaning up at the end!) is ideal for those with little or no experience and will introduce you to the basic principles and techniques of hand-building ceramic objects. Methods such as pinching, coiling and slab building are great ways to produce simple pottery such as mugs, soap-dishes, bowls and small vases.

Classes take place on Mondays and Thursdays from 6.30-9pm. The class will be taught by one of the experienced ceramic artists currently working in our beautiful space at Dockyards Ceramics Studio. All finished pieces will be dried, fired and glazed by our studio technician.

Please bring an apron or something that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty! Long finger nails and delicate jewellery not advisable.

​​ All children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Easy transport links and free parking on site.

Total cost of 2 .5 hour evening class: £60
