Course information

Join our creative craft ceramics tutor in the beautiful grounds of Bicton College for this 3-hour session and make your own unique seasonal piece from clay.

Come along and have 3 hours of total relaxation and get lost in the process!

Morning session - 9.30-12.30
Afternoon session - 1.30-4.30

Payment of materials to be made on day (maximum £25)

You will learn about the materials you are using and hand build your own creation. You will also have the opportunity to add colour underglazes to your piece. Once completed they will be fired twice! and a transparent glaze applied. All items will be ready for collection within 4-6 weeks. ( pictures illustrate examples of projects)

Disclaimer: Firing pottery is an unpredictable process and because pieces are taken to very high temperatures, they could crack or even explode during firing. We can take no responsibility for damage to pieces during firing and cannot guarantee your creations will survive 100% of the time. However, we will obviously do everything we can to avoid damage to pieces
