a creative offering especially for the home ed community, aiming to provide an accessible & affordable way for young people to be introduced to pottery & ceramics, to build their confidence in the craft as well as explore their individual creativity.
join me in my home studio in capel st.mary, suffolk (postcode IP9) for 2-hour tailored, private sessions to learn the basics of working with clay! perfect for those who want to try their hand at the potters wheel, have a go at handbuilding or try out both.
single sessions can be booked as one-off taster session, or choose multiple sessions for participants to cover more parts of the making process (such as attaching handles and glazing).
these sessions are suitable for ages 6 and up - with option to book one, two or three young people onto the same session.
the one-off/first session will include:
-
a short tour of my studio.
-
an overview of the process of making a ceramic from start to finish.
-
a hands-on introduction to throwing on the wheel, and making & decorating a pinch pot. i'll chat to participants at the start of the session to see if they'd rather focus just on one type of making!
-
choosing glaze colours for each piece, which will be applied & fired after the session. finished pieces will be ready to collect within 3-4 weeks.
