This four week pottery course is for an adult and child to attend together to learn some hand-building pottery techniques, get creative and make some beautiful pottery! The cost of £300 is for both places. Classes run from our loft studio in central Brighton (Hartington Rd, BN2 3PA). They're small, with no more than six people, and lots of one-to-one tuition (and tea!) On-street parking is free at the time of the course. All classes are suitable for complete beginners as well as more experienced potters. You are buying a space for one adult and one child, and the child/ young person should be aged 11 - 18. The course will take you through projects which will introduce you to the fundamental principles of hand-building. You can explore pinch pots, coiling techniques, and the use of soft and hard slabs. You'll get the opportunity to experiment with a large range of decoration techniques such as sgrafitto, underglazing, carving and slip trailing. You'll be making and decorating your pottery for all four weeks of the course, and we will then glaze and fire them for you. They will be ready to collect around 4 weeks after the course. The course price includes use of clay, a range of glazes, underglazes and slips. Firing costs are charged at £1 per 100g of fired, finished work. Play with clay, spend some quality time together, and make some beautiful ceramics!
