Pottery
Monthly Pottery Classes
Course Overview
Join our Monthly Pottery Classes with Louise Berrill, a skilled and experienced artist, for a hands-on experience in pottery. These 2.5-hour sessions, held every month, are designed to accommodate all skill levels—from beginners to those with more experience.
Each class offers a unique opportunity to explore various hand-building techniques, including coiling, pinch pots, and slab construction. You’ll work on creating both decorative and functional ceramic pieces while learning the basics of clay preparation, tool usage, and different decoration methods. After completing your pieces, they will be glazed and fired, ready for collection at a later date.
You can attend individual sessions as each one stands alone or book a series to gain a broader experience.
