FAQs:
Where are the classes?
All classes happen at my studio in Wilderness Wood.
The studio is indoors and warm all year round.
Who can attend?
Anyone! I have taught adults of all ages, and children as young as 6 the basics of throwing. If your child is too young to access the wheel (often for height reasons), there is a lot of fun to be had with hand building. I have even accommodated a student who had a 1 year old baby with her. Everyone is welcome and should be able to learn.
What will we learn?
In our class, we will learn the basics of how to throw a cylinder. From there, I will show you the subtle differences you can make to it to end up with what you want - mugs, bowls, vases, flower pots.
You can either come to me with something specific in mind that you want to make, or you can just come wanting to learn a new skill, or have a go on the wheel.
Can we keep what we make?
If you would like to keep anything you make, I charge a small fee of £5 per piece to bisque fire it, or £10 to bisque and glaze. If you book onto a course, or multiple classes, you will get to fire a certain number of pieces for free before these fees apply.
When?
I live 2 minutes away from my studio, and so am very flexible when it comes to timings. Mornings, evenings, weekdays and weekends - whatever suits you, we can find a date and time that works.
