Summer School
Join us for an intensive and enjoyable pottery course in this beautiful corner of the world.
Each week is a complete making cycle, culminating in a wood firing or, sometimes, two. Alternatively, participate in a weekend pottery workshop. For 2025 the pottery will be open to students for the week-long pottery courses over the summer, in June and August. More course details are available here
Weekly Pottery Classes
Restarting in 2025, these will be 2.5 hour weekly sessions facilitated by Seren (Apprentice at Ridge Pottery) with input from Douglas and Jennie. Seren will guide students through a 10 week course, giving a comprehensive overview of the full making process. These sessions will explore a range of hand building and throwing techniques with one-to-one tuition tailored for beginners and more experienced potters alike. More course details are available here
Wild Clay Weekends
Douglas says;
“I have been asked to lay on a wild clay class. Well, I have been using a wild clay for 54 years here in Somerset and spent 3 months in Chiapas, Mexico hunting them out some years ago. I have used such clays in several other parts of the world as well and not just for the making of pots but also for making glazes…” More course details are available here
