Pottery Classes and Workshops in Newcastle.
Offering Pottery classes in Newcastle upon Tyne, office parties, hen parties, group sessions, team workshops, pottery making, clay therapy , specialist sessions, fun day out, something completely different.
One off pottery making sessions in the atmosphere of a professional ‘pottery studio’ this can be for complete beginners or the more experienced who want to brush up on skills. A session will last up to 2 hours and will cost £25 for one person on their own in a session, or £36 for 2 people, or £15 per head for a group of 3 or more persons per session/class, all materials , the glazing and 2 firings are included.
If you are interested you will need to arrange a suitable time/date that fits in with my work schedule . Can be on a Saturday or a week day, by emailing me I can let you know what time slots are available to either fit you in a group with a few other people or arrange for a session on your own. A group is usually 3 to 6 people , but I can cater for up to 16 for special parties such as ‘hen’ or office parties/experience days
The session will start with basic making by hand methods, thumb/pinch pots, slab building, mould decoration, then everyone will have a go on the ‘Potters Wheel’ and produce a pot, followed by some other making and decorating techniques, plus I explain the processes, firing, materials and background as we go along.
Each person can select 3 of the best pieces they’ve made from the session, I will then glaze and fire them and they can collect the finished pieces at a later date.
email to arrange a suitable time and date.
