Long Craft Pottery Session 101

The course begins with an introduction to Craft – Hand Made Pottery in the way of an ice breaker to get your hands dirty. Your session continues with more hands on experience using one of the most common methods of making, the Potters Wheel. The workshop will progress according to your individual development and by the end of the period you should have several pieces of hand made ware to be proud of. Additional information on techniques, decorating, finishing, firing, glazing etc will be provided if and when it is of interest or relevant to the student.
