Pottery classes are a great way to engage with friends/ family/ work colleagues.
These Taster Classes are made for fun and designed to give you the opportunity to experience the potter's wheel and/or to learn a few hand building pottery techniques. Whether you’ve never tried the pottery wheel nor even touched clay or if you would just like to re-connect with the medium, this is the opportunity to immerse yourself in this 2 hour session and enjoy the experience.
Everyone will have one or 2 acceptable ‘keepers’ at the end of this class. For those who wish to keep a piece or two, we can bisque fire your ware once it has dried and then we custom glaze your work for you – a selection of StudioMade's house batch glazes will be available to choose from on your pottery day. The larger group projects will also be taken care of 'back of house' and will be ready for collection alongside individual work.
All things ceramic is a slow process. If the kiln gods are kind and all goes to plan your pots will be ready for collection within 4-6 weeks, at which point we will notify you and you can swing by to collect your precious cargo.
...in response to some of your FAQs -
- we are a ready made group wanting to do a pottery class together - we have an idea of when we can get together
- we are wanting to celebrate an event/party with some pottery on the side
- I would love to do a pottery class with my child and know of a few like minded families
- we are a small business wishing to do some team building at your studio
- wondering if we could have a daytime event that might involve coffee/food and pottery
- we are a family - together with younger children and teenagers - we would like to mix it up with the pottery wheel and some hand-building.
What can we expect during our 2 hour private pottery lesson?
StudioMade supplies everything - we ask that you bring your own lengthy apron or a towel to drape over your lap - and trimmed nails work best on the wheel.
