Lessons
I offer lessons in throwing and handbuilding to one or two students at a time.
I offer a three-session block, which will take you from beginner to creating a finished glazed piece or pieces, or alternatively a one-off taster session.
I can supply gift vouchers if you wish to give lessons as a present.
Three-session block:
You throw at least four or five pots on the wheel.
(Your pots then need to dry to a leather-hard state so that you can handle them at the next session – this can take a day or two.)
You finish (turn) and decorate your pots.
(Your pots then need to dry completely and are bisque fired – this takes a week or two.)
You complete and glaze your pots.
(Your pots are fired again and are then ready to be collected.)
Each session is around two hours long.
A one-off session costs £38 each for two people or £48 for one person. (If you then wish to book a follow -on session to glaze your work, this is charged at the same rate.)
A three-session block costs £95 each for two people or £130 for one person.
My times are:
Monday and Thursday 10–12
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10–12 and 2–4
Saturday 10–12.
The cost includes materials and firings, however due to the increased cost of energy I have had to introduce a small fee for finished pots. I therefore charge £5 per kg (£1 per 200g) for fired work, payable on collection. A small bowl/cup weighs about 100g.
Due to lack of storage I can only keep finished or part-finished work for 6 months unless by prior agreement.
There is a 10% discount on any purchases made during the sessions.
Have a look at the students' work page to see some of the pieces produced in these sessions.
