Hand Building

Hand Building is a pottery technique where clay is shaped by hand, without the use of a pottery wheel. This approach includes methods like pinching, coiling, and slab building, allowing for unique, organic shapes and textures. Hand building encourages creativity and offers endless possibilities for crafting one-of-a-kind ceramic pieces.

Glaze Making

Glaze Making is the process of creating the coating applied to pottery before firing, giving it colour, texture, and a protective finish. Made from materials like silica and colorants, glazes melt in the kiln, creating a smooth, glass-like surface that enhances the beauty and durability of each piece.

Wheel Throwing

Wheel Throwing is a pottery technique where clay is shaped on a spinning wheel to create symmetrical forms like bowls, vases, and pots. The potter uses their hands and tools to center the clay, pull it upwards, and refine the shape. Wheel throwing requires skill and control, allowing for precise, consistent pieces with a smooth, professional finish.

Slip Casting

Slip Casting is a pottery technique that involves pouring liquid clay, called slip, into a plaster mould. As the plaster absorbs moisture, a clay layer forms along the mould’s inner walls. Once set, the piece is removed, refined, and fired. Slip casting is ideal for creating intricate and consistent shapes in ceramics.

FAQS

Do I need any prior experience to join a pottery class?

No prior experience is needed! Our classes are designed for beginners as well as those with some pottery background. Our instructors will guide you through each step, whether it’s your first time working with clay or you’re looking to build on your skills. We provide a supportive and relaxed environment where everyone can explore their creativity.

 What should I wear to a pottery class?

We don't provide aprons.. so please come in clothes that you don`t mind getting a bit of water and clay on.

Can I take my finished piece home after the class?

Yes, absolutely! After you’ve created your piece, it needs to be fired and, if applicable, glazed, which can take up to 2–3 weeks. Once your piece is ready, we’ll notify you to pick it up, so you can take your unique creation home to enjoy!
