Weekly Pottery Classes will begin again in January 2025

Having acted as the helper at Ridge Pottery on a number of summer courses since 2022, Seren Birtles will be starting up our pottery classes again in 2025 with input from Douglas and Jennie. 

Seren will guide students through weekly 2.5 hour classes, 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.

From throwing bowls and attaching handles to mugs, to altered forms, lids, and spouts and of course decoration with a number of glazes, slips and colourants, students are sure to come away feeling accomplished. 

The next round of classes is a 6 week term beginning on the 22nd of April, with classes running every Tuesday for a maximum of 8 students per class. There are two sessions available:

Afternoon session: 2.30pm – 5pm 

Evening session: 7pm – 9.30pm

Please express interest here.


Fees

Students will need to commit to one complete term of classes at a time, with full payment in advance. The cost for the 6 week April term is £192. There will be an additional charge of £3.50 per kg of fired work.
