Classes

Now that the new pottery studio is fully operational, courses have started to fill up quickly and have been re-structured. Each class is now three hours long, with each course lasting eight weeks.

1. Classes are limited to a maximum of 10 people in order to make sure that there is enough space for everyone; with this in mind, we must ask you to book your class in advance.

2. Classes are run on Tuesday mornings, then on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings,
afternoons and evenings, and Saturday mornings.

‘Taster’ and Half-Day sessions are run on Tuesday and Saturday afternoons.

3. With three sessions per day, it is vital that all participants start and finish promptly, Please allow
up to 15 minutes at the end of your session to clean up. Session times are as follows:

Morning 9.30am – 12.30pm

Afternoon 1.30pm – 4.30pm

Evening 6.30pm – 9.30pm

4. Please arrive on time, bringing your own apron and towel. If you'd like a tea or coffee while working, there are plenty of mugs (all made on site, naturally!), but do feel free to bring your own if you prefer.
There are washing facilities in the pottery – with hot running water.

Pricing

The cost for an eight-week course is £280, payable in advance. Early booking is strongly advised – places tend to be taken very quickly, especially as numbers are restricted to 10 per session. With this in mind, all courses are booked on a first-come, first-served basis.

Classes in the new studio are already proving to be hugely popular!

“Kate’s teaching style is fab – there’s no pressure, just a solid, informed introduction to the basics of pottery, leading to more complex disciplines like slab work, or throwing a pot on the wheel.

Best of all, this place is full of chat and laughter! The tea is spot on and sometimes even biscuits turn up!”
